Conclusion
While only 12% of children with ASD in this
study presented with standard scores indicating a
speech delay/disorder many more (41%) children
presented with a small number of errors. In some
cases, such as the child with phoneme specific
nasal emission, this leads to highly unusual
sounding speech.
current study who had speech disorders also had
poor oromotor skills, suggesting this should be an
important line of investigation in future research.
