Скачать или смотреть "Don't Wait and See": New Research on Speech Development with Dr. Giacomo Vivanti

We were so honored to sit down with Giacomo Vivanti, Ph.D., Associate Professor and Leader of Early Detection and Intervention research program in the A.J. Drexel Autism Institute at Drexel University. Autism Tree has valued our relationship with Dr. Vivanti since 2018, and we are thrilled to continue highlighting his vital work.

Dr. Vivanti is currently sharing groundbreaking insights from his latest study: “Proportion and Profile of Autistic Children Not Acquiring Spoken Language Despite Receiving Evidence-Based Early Interventions.”

This research—a massive undertaking involving data from UC Davis, the TEACCH program at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and experts like our own Conference Moderator & current INSAR President Dr. Brian Boyd—is the first large-scale study to look at exactly how many children develop speech when given an evidence-based start.

In the video below, Dr. Vivanti breaks down his research into two critical takeaways. "Take action early," he urges. "Don't 'wait and see'—you're wasting time."

📊 The Findings
The study found that when children receive high-quality, evidence-based intervention for at least one year, two-thirds of those who started with no language successfully developed phrase speech. However, a vital truth remains: about one-third of children still struggle to acquire spoken language, even in the best programs. This isn’t a reason to lose hope—it is a call to action to monitor progress closely and tailor support to meet the unique needs of every child.
