About the screening
What the screening is — and isn’t.
-
A trusted, research-backed tool
Our questions follow the M-CHAT-R™ — one of the most widely used early-childhood autism screeners.
-
Designed for ages under 6
It’s built for toddlers and young children between 16 and 30 months of age.
-
A flag, never a verdict
A screening can point you toward help — it cannot diagnose. Only a clinical evaluation can do that.
