Proposals are invited on any topic of this conference. The goal of  
these poster sessions is to provide an opportunity for researchers and  
practitioners to share their knowledge and experience. Presentations  
can thus cover experimental work, controlled observational studies as  
well as applied research (assessment of clinical/ educational  
interventions) from practitioners.  Proposals from doctoral students  
are welcome.

Language : French or English

Abstract maximal length : 300 words

The abstract will include an introduction presenting the aim of the  
study, the methodology used, the results and some elements of

International Conference Autism ComSym 2011

Children with autism are often characterized by their deficits. Thus,  
their poor communication, their lack of pretend play and/or imitation,  
their scarce understanding of others’ mental states, are considered  
as characteristic features of their pathology. Although, this remains  
generally true, facts are far from being so neat and clear-cut.   
Scientific observation of family videos and studies of children in  
supporting interactional contexts have shown that many children with  
autism do present some capacities in the above domains. And therapists  
working with them observe these capacities in their everyday practices.

The aim of this conference is to provide a more precise understanding  
of the specificities of communicative and symbolic behaviors of  
children with autism, as well as to characterize under which  
conditions and how they occur, allowing to delineate their particular  
developmental profiles in comparison with that of typically developing  
children. Within this perspective, analyses that take into account the  
dynamics of interaction between partners will be emphasized.  From a  
methodological standpoint, this conference will present a diversity of  
approaches (case studies, experimental studies, observation in  
controlled, semi-controlled or natural situations). Such diversity as  
well as the sharing of knowledge and experience between therapists and  
researchers, are expected to stimulate innovative research and  
intervention practices in the field.


The conference will focus on the following topics:
1. The bases of communication: Emotion and sensorimotor behaviors
2. Indicators of implicit Theory of Mind
3. Symbolic abilities
4. Language and communication
