Abstract

Gestures precede language and promote language development. The types and functions of gestures in children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD) have atypical use and development,and the slow development of gesture-language trajectories can become a key early behavior marker for children with ASD. The development of gestures is significantly related to the later language,cognition,social interaction and ASD diagnosis. Early evaluation and monitoring of gesture function should be carried out in ASD children. Personalized training based on the characteristics of gestures,and intervention using gestures as an intermediary can promote language,cognitive and social development,thus to improve rehabilitation effects.
