New paper! In a 10-year study of an #autistic English + ASL #bilingual, we document cross-modal echoes—repetitions that move between modalities (spoken echoes of signed input, and vice versa). https://t.co/BE8B7ehqj0

[Aaron Shield @AaronShieldPhD]

New paper out in @ADLI_OA! Minimally-verbal #autism extends to sign: I describe minimally-signing autism in #deaf children with full access to sign from birth. Findings point to domain-general constraints across modalities, not sensory differences. https://t.co/Rv1ZhE12op

New paper out in Enfance! 🎉 We studied how Deaf parents engage their deaf autistic children’s attention during play—analyzing 1,200+ strategies. Most were visual/tactile, with creative, uniquely Deaf ways of connecting. Read here �� https://t.co/u1vmwFjTYR

New paper out in Frontiers in Language Sciences!
We studied 7 hearing autistic children of Deaf parents with native ASL + English exposure. Results: no single “best” modality—language strengths varied across sign & speech. Read here: https://t.co/4M7bYW37UQ #Autism #Bilingualism

Just published! 🎉 Our new paper in Behavioral Sciences explores how a Deaf autistic adolescent uses facial expressions & body movements for emotion and grammar in ASL — revealing rich, alternative expressive strategies beyond “typical” norms. https://t.co/5T0z9kAZDk

[Aaron Shield @AaronShieldPhD]

New paper out now! ✋🔤 We analyzed 52 representations of the ASL fingerspelling alphabet & found major variability in angles, perspectives, & directions depicted. What does this mean for learners?

Proud of my thesis student, Hailey Browning, for an extremely well executed thesis investigating the potential benefits of ASL on theory of mind and face processing skills for children with autism!

I'm about to do an NPR interview on Cincinnati's Connected Communities initiative. Just reading what they've done -- super impressed. A great model for implementing a @strongtowns approach citywide. 💪💪

Proud of my students who presented at today's @MiamiOH_ResInno Undergraduate Research Forum on their work examining how Deaf and hearing parents manage their autistic children's visual attention: Hannah Howard, Hannah Ballinger, Mallory McDermitt, & Meredith Mog - great work!

New paper in Language Acquisition with @Walker_KristinM @singlebart and Richard P. Meier - a case study on a fluent deaf autistic signer and his fascinating signing style. We describe unique syntactic and phonological differences from neurotypical signers.

[Aaron Shield @AaronShieldPhD]

Richard P. Meier, @crathmann and I edited a special issue of @FrontPsychol devoted to Modality and Language Acquisition, with 19 papers on a variety of topics, esp. the acquisition of signed languages as 1st and 2nd languages. Our editorial summing it up: https://t.co/CsMtSEjE7y
