Existing Autism-Specific Measures. Many studies utilized questionnaire screening measures that had been previously developed for use with parents or professionals to identify autism. The two most utilized measures were (1) the M-CHAT or components of the M-CHAT completed by childcare workers, in combination with other measures (n = 5 studies), and ...
Reliability. 52.2% of studies considered at least one measure of reliability. Regarding inter-rater reliability, several studies found moderate to strong correlations or similar ratings/accuracy between parent and teacher ratings of autism traits (Dereu et al., 2012; Larsen et al., 2018b; Major et al., 2017; Pine et al., 2006; Sprafkin et al., 2002...
Only two studies explicitly inquired about user satisfaction with questionnaire measures, both of which supported teacher satisfaction. Morales-Hidalgo et al. (2017) reported on qualitative feedback from 5 teachers who reported that the EDUTEA measure was easy to understand and applicable to their students. Andersson et al. (2014) found that 86% of...

compared with children who have developmental delays, children with autism show delays in attention-getting, touch aversions, and poor nonsocial visual orientation as early as 9 months of age.8 Although results from these screening tools do not constitute a diagnosis of autism, they can help form the foundation of a quality comprehensive ...
Research shows that early screening and timely intervention can improve a child’s overall development and future outcomes. We continue to work on closing the diagnosis gap, with a special focus on high need, underserved area populations by empowering parents, educating physicians and increasing access to interventions and supports.
