OverviewAI-generated summary
Kristen Muller's research focuses on communication and language development in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), particularly those with minimal verbal abilities. She is the Principal Investigator on a grant from the NIH/National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders for $196,143, aimed at measuring word understanding and visual attention skills in these children. Her work also explores the perspectives of mothers regarding challenging behaviors in children with fragile X syndrome and investigates employment opportunities for adults who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Muller has published on the concurrent validity and reliability of the Communication Complexity Scale and has examined alternative receptive language assessment methods for autistic children who are minimally verbal. Her research group also investigates the link between motor and communication skills in minimally speaking children on the autism spectrum, with studies involving participants from both the U.S. and India.
