The latest bit of autism research by Dr. Patricia Kuhl, speech pathologist and psychologist, indicates that brain responses to words at age 2 are highly predictive of a broad range of cognitive abilities, facility with language, and adaptive behaviors.
This important bit of research adds to a growing body of research produced by Dr. Kuhl, who co-director of the University of Washington's Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences, and those working with her. The research underscores the need for early intervention for autism, when the potential to fundamentally change brain development is at its maximum. It is also hoped that it will lead to new treatments that are introduced in the early stages
