Description
This pilot study evaluates screening protocols for referral to our Autism Spectrum Disorder Interdisciplinary Diagnostic Clinic. High referral rates of children who do not have autism result in long wait times for evaluation, diagnosis and intervention. We analyzed evaluations of 32 children to determine false positive rates of various parent report screeners, the STAT, and the CARS-2 to decrease false positive referrals to the clinic.Back to Session: Poster Symposium 4C: Clinical Service, Health, Wellness
