Lateralization Profile in ASD Children with Different Speech Development Levels

570

Abstract

The lateralization profile and its link to speech development in 10 children with autism spectrum disorders and 20 neurotypical controls aged 6-7 were studied. Neuropsychological methods for the dominant arm, dominant ear, and dominant eye determination were used as well as for expressive and impressive speech assessment. Ambilateral results were found more often in autism spectrum disorders children compared to neurotypical controls. autism spectrum disorders children with ambilateral rates prevalence have shown higher results in speech development. There were more left ear dominance cases among autism spectrum disorders children compared with controls.
