Joint attention

http://foa.sagepub.com/content/19/1/13.abstract

[b]Joint attention is an early-developing social-communicative skill in Which tWo people (usually a young child and an adult) use gestures and gaze to share attention [/b]With respect to interesting objects or events. This skill plays a critical role in social and language development. [b]Impaired development of joint attention is a cardinal feature of children With autism[/b], and thus it is important to develop this skill in early intervention efforts. Several interventions are described that involve teaching joint attention to young children With autism. These interventions focus primarily on the forms of joint attention; hoWever, they only partially address the unique social function of this behavior. DraWing on the joint attention literature, as Well as extensive intervention literature from the field of applied behavior analysis, We describe a set of strategies that could be used to teach and support joint attention, function as Well as form, in young children With autism.
