Description

The M-CHAT and the CSBS-ITC have been recommended as screening tools to identify children in need of ASD evaluation. Our previous research in an interdisciplinary clinic for children with developmental concerns revealed elevated scores for most children with limited specificity. The current study explored if factors related to the parent or child could contribute to screening measure outcomes. Preliminary data suggests a notable impact of respondent level of education.
