OverviewAI-generated summary
Kristen Muller investigates communication and language development in autistic children, with a particular focus on those with minimal verbal skills. Her research examines alternative methods for assessing receptive language, aiming to identify effective and clinically feasible approaches for this population. She has explored the use of different assessment modalities and stimuli to better understand word understanding and visual attention in minimally verbal/non-speaking children with autism.
Muller's work extends to understanding the relationship between motor skills and communication abilities in children with autism spectrum disorder. She has led a research group and received federal funding from the NIH/National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders for a project focused on measuring word understanding and visual attention skills in minimally verbal/non-speaking children with autism. Her publications include studies on alternative receptive language assessment, the motor-communication skill link, and the clinical feasibility of alternative word-understanding measures for autistic children with limited spoken language.
