Developing parent-friendly tools for assessing expressive language outcome measures in young children with autism

Helen Tager-Flusberg previously developed a standardized protocol for assessing expressive language outcomes in school- and home-based settings in children with autism that produces results comparable to assessments made in a lab or clinic setting. Tager-Flusberg now seeks to apply the success of that work in older children by developing a version of their protocol that can be used by parents to assess language ability in younger children at home.
