Questions About Developmental Screening or Evaluation?
Please discuss developmental concerns with your child’s pediatrician or another qualified healthcare professional. Online information does not provide a diagnosis. Contact L.E.M.Y.S for information about currently available resources and next steps.
The M-CHAT-R is specifically designed for toddlers. If your child is older, we recommend visiting our CAST screener for a more appropriate assessment.
While autism is typically diagnosed in early childhood, some children may not receive a formal diagnosis until later in their development. The CAST is a valuable screening tool for identifying these cases and ensuring children access the support they need. If your child is under the age of 4, we recommend completing the M-CHAT screening tool instead of the CAST for a more age-appropriate assessment.
