Lavi, Rachelle; Stokes, Mark A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Few instruments screen for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among kindergarteners and older children. The Autism Screen for Kids and Youth (ASKY) is a 30-item parental questionnaire for 4- to 18-year-old children and adolescents available in Arabic, English, and Hebrew. We examined the sensitivity, specificity, and temporal stability of the Hebrew…

M. Franci Crepeau-Hobson; Nancy Leech; Courtney Russell – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2022
Recent surveillance efforts indicate that 1 in 54 American children meet the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), making it the fastest growing neurodevelopmental disorder in the U.S. Despite evidence that ASD can be reliably diagnosed as early as 24 months, the median age at ASD diagnosis in 2016 in the U.S. was 51 months. The CLEAR…

Bakare, Muideen O.; Frazier, Thomas W.; Karpur, Arun; Abubakar, Amina; Nyongesa, Moses Kachama; Mwangi, Paul Murimu; Dixon, Pamela; Khaliq, Izma; Gase, Natalie K.; Sandstrom, Jonathan; Okidegbe, Nwanze; Rosanoff, Michael; Munir, Kerim M.; Shih, Andy – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Informant-report measures for screening symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are needed for low-resource settings if early identification is to be prioritized because early developmental concerns are likely to be expressed by parents and other caregivers. This paper describes the initial…

Children can be reliably diagnosed with autism as early as 3 years of age, and early interventions are initiated. There is often a significant gap between the age of onset of symptoms (2-3 years) and diagnosis (8-10 years) in Africa. We conducted a study to validate the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) as a screening instrument in a rural…

Roman-Urrestarazu, Andres; Yáñez, Carolina; López-Garí, Claudia; Elgueta, Constanza; Allison, Carrie; Brayne, Carol; Troncoso, Mónica; Baron-Cohen, Simon – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) can be an extended procedure since ASC tend to both vary greatly across individual symptoms and diagnostic pathways with serious challenges to opportune access and diagnosis in low resource settings. We adapted the Q-CHAT-25 for use in a routine health check-ups programme at Chilean primary health…

Melekoglu, Macid Ayhan; Erden, H. Gülsen; Çakiroglu, Orhan – South African Journal of Education, 2021
Efforts to diagnose students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) have increased in recent years in Turkey. However, the limited number of assessment tools used to identify students with SLD is one of the most important concerns in this area, since 8 out of 10 students with SLD have difficulty in reading, which affects other academic areas.…

McClain, Maryellen Brunson; Harris, Bryn; Schwartz, Sarah E.; Golson, Megan E. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2021
Although the racial/ethnic demographics in the United States are changing, few studies evaluate the cultural and linguistic responsiveness of commonly used autism spectrum disorder screening and diagnostic assessment measures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate item and test functioning of the Autism Spectrum Rating Scales (ASRS) in a sample…

Begay, Kristin – ProQuest LLC, 2016
Rating scales are often used as part of the evaluation process to diagnose autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Rating scales that are modeled after the experiences and understanding of the Caucasian American race may not reflect the unique experiences of individuals from other races or ethnicities. If parent ratings do not uniformly identify the ASD…

The Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) is a popular behavior-observation instrument that was developed more than 34 years ago and has since been adopted in a wide variety of contexts for assessing the presence and severity of autism symptomatology in both children and adolescents. This investigation of the reliability of CARS scores involves…
