Autism Screening Tools

Not sure whether an evaluation is needed? These research-backed tools can help you decide whether to take the next step.

The M-CHAT-R

Recommended for toddlers

Ages 16–30 months

The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised (M-CHAT-R) is a widely used parent-completed screening tool designed to identify early signs associated with autism. It can help determine whether a full evaluation may be a useful next step.

The CAST

Recommended for children

Ages 4–11 years

The Childhood Autism Spectrum Test (CAST) is a parent-completed screening questionnaire designed for school-age children. It can help identify traits associated with autism and inform a conversation about whether a formal evaluation may be appropriate.
