This study examines whether picture-based communication boards can help minimally verbal autistic preschoolers initiate communication independently. Through structured play sessions, children are introduced to visual tools that may support self-expression without adult prompting. The research aims to enhance participation, language development, and autonomy by shifting children from passive observers to active communicators.

This research examines how economic inequality affects children’s trust and generosity. In experimental games, children aged 5–9 who experienced unequal rewards trusted decision-makers less, regardless of whether they benefited. Repeated exposure to unfairness may spread mistrust to others, suggesting that early inequality can shape social attitudes and cooperative behavior.
