    • In typical development, social-communication skills emerge in a predictable pattern, with nonverbal skills, such as imitation and joint attention, preceding language development and theory of mind. Children with autism exhibit significant impairment in these early, non-verbal social-communication skills, as well as delayed and deviant language and social development. My research is focused on the study of atypical patterns of early social-communication development and the design and evaluation of interventions aimed at improving these skills in young children with autism.
