The overarching goal of this paper is to examine the efficacy of early intervention when
viewed through the lens of developmental neuroscience. We begin by briefly summarizing …

In the first years of life, infants rapidly acquire a series of new motor skills. They learn to sit
independently, to walk with skill, and to engage in a wide variety of interactions with objects …

Importance In the neurotypical brain, regions develop in coordinated patterns, providing a
fundamental scaffold for brain function and behavior. Whether altered patterns contribute to …

Background Differences in responding to sensory stimuli, including sensory hyperreactivity
(HYPER), hyporeactivity (HYPO), and sensory seeking (SEEK) have been observed in …

Abstract Purpose of Review Sleep problems are a common comorbidity for children with
autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and research in this area has a relatively long history …

Abstract Development is complex. It encompasses interacting domains, at multiple levels,
across nested time scales. Embracing the complexity of development—while addressing the …

Many theories of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) focus on a single system or factor as an
explanatory mechanism for autism symptoms and behavior. However, there is growing …

This study investigated the extent to which sensory responsivity in infancy contributes to
adaptive behavior development among toddlers at high-familial likelihood for autism …

Abstract This Presidential Address is aimed at considering how infant development can be
understood in terms of developmental cascades. Adopting a developmental cascades …

There is a wealth of literature characterizing social difficulties in autism spectrum disorder
(ASD). However, little work has replicated longitudinal findings from typical development that …
