Neural mechanisms of speech motor control in Autism Spectrum Disorders
PROJECT SUMMARY Speech deficits are among the most prevalent and impairing of symptoms for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In fact, 25% of people with ASD have little to no speech. The reasons many people with ASD struggle to speak are still poorly understood, which means that our treatments don't target the source of the problem. Our preliminary work has demonstrated that altering auditory feedback can influence speech in individuals with ASD. However, the ability to translate these findings to the development of novel treatments for speech deficits in ASD is impeded by our limited understanding of how auditory feedback interacts with speech motor control in individuals with…
