| Research Abstract |
We investigated typically developing children and autistic children's understanding non-verbal communication information to make programs for autistic children's development. The results were that 1) typically developing children develop their ability to know different meanings of different types of pointing during infancy. 2) typically developing children integrate information from eye gaze and pointing to interpret other people's word meanings. Whereas 3) autistic children had difficulty to use information by pointing to interpret pronouns,, and 4) they also had difficulty to integrate information of eye gaze and pointing. Based on these results in addition to findings we had from our intervention for autistic children and their caregivers, we obtained useful information to make intervention programs for autistic children.
