Document 1 of 1 Deaf Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Author: Szymanski, Christen A; Brice, Patrick J; Lam, Kay H; Hotto, Sue A ProQuest document link Abstract: Epidemiological studies investigating the prevalence of autism have increased in recent years, withinthe United States and abroad. However, statistics as to how many of those children may also have a comorbidhearing loss is lacking. The prevalence of school-administrator reported diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders(clinical diagnosis [DSM-IV] and/or IDEA classification) among children with hearing loss in the US wasestimated from the 2009-2010 Annual Survey of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children and Youth conducted bythe Gallaudet Research Institute. Results indicate that during the 2009-2010 school year 1 in 59 children(specifically 8-year olds) with hearing loss were also receiving services for autism; considerably higher, thanreported national estimates of 1 in 91 (Kogan et al. in Pediatrics 124(4):1-8, 2009) and 1 in 110 (CDC 2007) forhearing children. Significantly more children with profound hearing loss had a comorbid diagnosis of autism thanthose with milder forms of hearing loss. These results are discussed, while highlighting the need for increasedawareness and research in a population that has thus far received little services or attention.[PUBLICATIONABSTRACT] MeSH: Child, Child Development Disorders, Pervasive -- complications, Comorbidity, Education, Special --statistics & numerical data, Female, Health Surveys, Humans, Male, Population Surveillance, Prevalence,Schools, United States -- epidemiology, Child Development Disorders, Pervasive -- epidemiology (major),Hearing Loss -- epidemiology (major) Publication title: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders Volume: 42 Issue: 10 Pages: 2027-37 Publication year: 2012 Publication date: Oct 2012 Year: 2012 Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media Place of publication: New York Country of publication: Netherlands Publication subject: Children And Youth - About, Education--Special Education And Rehabilitation, Psychology,Medical Sciences--Psychiatry And Neurology ISSN: 01623257 CODEN: JADDDQ Source type: Scholarly Journals Language of publication: English Document type: Feature, Journal Article
