M-CHAT

M-CHAT: A Screening Tool for Parents

M-CHAT (Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers) is a screening tool designed especially for parents of children aged 16-30 months. It won’t provide a diagnosis (only a licensed professional can do that) but it’s a good starting point to know whether your child has any of the signs and symptoms of autism.

If your M-CHAT result leads you to look into diagnosis and treatment, ACES can point you in the right direction to find a diagnostician and promptly access your ABA insurance benefit.
