Abstract
Differences in gesture production at 18 months were analyzed in two populations with risk of Language Delay (LD): infants with an older sibling with ASD (Sibs ASD) and extremely preterm infants (ELGA). Results showed that low rates of pointing at 18 months is a marker of LD in both populations.
