Abstract:
Cross-lagged panel analysis was used to examine associations between two joint engagement variables; higher-order supported joint engagement (HSJE) and HSJE that co-occurs with caregiver’s follow-in talk (HSJE + FI), and expressive and receptive vocabulary in a group of young autistic children (n = 91) with language delay (mean chronological age = 39 months). Variables were measured twice, eight months apart. Coefficients for cross-lagged variable pairs were derived from structural equation models. Early HSJE was significantly associated with later expressive and receptive vocabulary (bs = .18, and .26, respectively), and early HSJE + FI was significantly associated with later expressive and receptive vocabulary (bs = .14 and .15, respectively). Associations between early vocabulary and later joint engagement were not significant. Linear contrasts between cross-lagged associations did not show a significantly superior association for any early joint engagement variables and later vocabulary variables. However, our results suggest that HSJE and HSJE + FI may be useful initial intervention targets for developmental interventions aimed at promoting autistic children’s language development who are initially language delayed.
