Abstract

A language development survey (Korean edition; Kotoba-no-yosu) was conducted on infants in Korea. A rank analysis of items was applied to the results of infants without developmental disabilities in order to analyze the process of language acquisition. The results with autistic children were coded in a structural diagram and used to investigate the conditions and characteristics of infants and children with autism. The results were as follows: The process of language development in children with autism showed little relation to that process in children without developmental disabilities. We also found considerable individual differences among the children with autism. In particular, the individual patterns in children with autism appeared to be a reflection of their problems with language development. Future research should examine the possibility of determining specific methods for guiding the language development of children like these.
