Conflict of interest statement

LM was the former director of the STAR Institute in Greenwood Village, CO. Much of the research described in the special issue was conducted while she was the director of the center and was compensated in that role. The center provides workshops, in-service training and direct client services for children with disabilities and their families. In addition, LM is an author on the Sensory Processing 3 Dimensions (SP3D), a commercially available assessment and as such, will receive royalties from Western Psychological Services, which will publish the test once data collection is finished and the examiner's manual is written (possibly 2024, depending when the COVID crisis is managed and testing can begin again). LM also receives royalties as the author of Sensational Kids, published by Penguin: NYC. Finally, LM was the awarded funding from the Wallace Research Foundation, which supported much of the research reported in this Frontiers special issue. None of the compensation was contingent upon any specific outcomes or findings from the research reported herein nor, for that matter, in any of LM research publications. None of the articles in this issue directly promotes any specific approach or product. EM is the executive director of neurodevelopmental medicine at Cortica Healthcare in San Rafael, CA where she provides clinical care, conducts research, and oversees the neurodevelopmental medicine faculty and support. She has received research funding from the Sensory Neurodevelopment and Autism Program crowdfunding campaign, UCSF RAP awards, the Wallace Research Foundation, as well as Akili Interactive. None of the compensation was contingent upon any specific outcomes or findings from the research reported herein nor, for that matter, in any of EM's research publications. EM also receives compensation from the National Institutes of Health for her participation in peer grant review. RC is the executive director of Growing Healthy Children Therapy Services in Rescue, CA where she is a treating occupational therapist, conducts research, provides consultation to other therapy practices, and teaches seminars in the community. She is on faculty for the STAR Institute where she teaches courses to therapists. She is a research consultant for UCSF and UCLA. None of her compensation in the aforementioned capacities, or any capacity, was contingent upon any specific outcomes or findings from the research reported herein, nor for that matter, in any of RC's research publications. SC receives salary support as a professor of Hearing and Speech sciences and a professor of Psychiatry at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. He is a co-developer of conversational recast intervention and phonological recast intervention which are both evidence based Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBIs). SC's research is currently supported by grants from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) and the National Institute on Mental Health (NIMH) of the NIH, the Institute of Educational Sciences (IES) of the US Department of Education, The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the Scottish Rite Mason's Foundation of Nashville. The Henry Wallace Foundation provided support for the research included in this special issue. He receives royalties for two books: The Intuitive Parent (2017) Penguin/Current and Late Talking Children: A Symptom or a Stage?
