    Autism Testing Tools

    Screening for autism

    At Behavioral Innovations, we use many diagnosis tools at our autism diagnosis center to help you understand your child’s needs. We walk with you, support you and help you navigate the process.

    • Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHATTM)

    The M-CHAT is appropriate for children under 3. It is a parent-report screening tool that assesses the risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). With the M-CHAT, the parent completes a 20-question questionnaire and receives an autism risk assessment for their kid.

    • Child Autism Spectrum Test (CAST)

    If you suspect your child has autism, it is crucial to take them for an autism test. The CAST, known as the “Childhood Asperger’s Syndrome Test,” is a screening questionnaire developed by the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge to identify symptoms of autism spectrum disorders in children. This parent-completed questionnaire captures various social, communicative, and imaginative behaviors in children aged 4 and older. This screening tool is crucial for its role in the early identification of ASD, enabling timely intervention and support. CAST allows the detection of cases that may require further assessment.

    An autism diagnosis will help you understand the challenges your child is having at school and home. You can get the initial autism screening from your pediatrician, or our team can perform a full autism evaluation.

    Take the CAST    Schedule An Official Evaluation

    ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule)

    How do we test for Autism?

    The ADOS-2 is a gold-standard diagnostic tool that assesses communication, social interaction, and play or imaginative use of materials for individuals suspected of having Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

    • Module Selection: We select from five different modules based on the child’s age and communication level, ensuring the assessment is tailored and appropriate.
    • Administration: Our clinicians conduct a series of structured, play-based tasks to observe the child’s social interactions, play skills, behaviors, and communication.
    • Scoring and Reporting: Post-assessment, results are meticulously scored and reviewed by a licensed psychologist, who then collaborates with your child’s physician to integrate these findings into a comprehensive diagnostic report.

    If needed, we may also use additional standardized tests to ensure a comprehensive assessment.

    FAQs About Our Diagnostic Services

    To prepare for your child’s diagnostic evaluation, please review these common questions and answers:

    Our diagnostic services are currently offered in Texas and Colorado.

    At Behavioral Innovations, we currently offer a flat fee for diagnostic evaluations. The straightforward pricing includes the initial consultation, assessments and observations, feedback sessions, and the written report.

    Our company aims to include our diagnostic services under many insurance providers in the future. At this time, our diagnostic services require clients to pay the expenses out-of-pocket.

    Many insurance companies may require a re-evaluation to continue receiving insurance coverage for related services. Usually, the diagnostic reports are valid for around three years. It’s best to schedule an appointment months before a report expires so you can avoid any gaps in care coverage.

    Professionals at Behavioral Innovations can guide you through options for the next steps. We offer applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for children with ASD. The scientific approaches aim to help children improve their lives and reach their full potential. You can read our article about ABA therapy to learn more.

    With the right support and interventions, some children diagnosed with ASD can show positive changes and improvements over a significant amount of time. Generally, ASD requires long-term support and is considered a condition that an individual may experience throughout their entire life.
