Focusing on verb acquisition in children with autism, this book presents a unique profile based on qualitative analysis of conversational language from ten children. It compares their verb learning to that of neurotypical peers, highlighting the importance of verbs in linguistic development. The study addresses how understanding verbs relates to cognitive skills like recognizing beliefs and desires, which are often challenging for children with autism. As one of the first investigations of its kind, it offers valuable insights into language acquisition processes in this population.
