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