M-CHAT-R (Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised)

Are you concerned your child might have Autism?

Introducing the M-CHAT-R “screener”. The M-CHAT is a validated tool for screening toddlers between 16 and 30 months of age, to assess risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASD).

Please note the results should generally be used in conjunction with a series of in-depth evaluations and often times, conducted by a multi-disciplinary team comprising: a paediatrician/paediatric neurologist, speech therapist and psychologist.

In many cases where further assessment is not readily available, it can be helpful to consult credible sources such as this test to assist you in identifying specific red flags, which can then prompt you to work towards seeking further assessment or at least can have you prioritise speech therapy or other services.

Let the results of the M-CHAT-R “screener” below prompt you to act rather than panic.

Testimonials

I am a developmental pediatrician practicing at Gertrude’s children’s hospital. In this capacity I have worked with Lorna and find her to be very professional and passionate about her work. She is very thorough when evaluating children and is comfortable interacting with other professionals in a multidisciplinary team. She has been a pleasure to work with.

Dr. Alliya Mohamed, MD FAAP.

We first met Lorna when she was referred to us as a speech therapist for our son. After we saw how quickly our son’s speech improved (and how Lorna integrated academic concepts into the therapy), we realized Lorna has a gift for working with children. Lorna is someone you follow. Lorna…has our highest possible recommendation.

Our very first meeting with Lorna gave me a great deal of confidence that i was finally at the right place. By the end of that first meeting i got to know for the first time the specific challenge areas that we needed to concentrate on so as to help my daughter along with her speech and i was also equipped with practical skills to further aid her progress. Six months down the line, my daughter can express herself much more clearly and this has given her confidence to make friends at school!

I know Lorna since that time for my son and do not hesitate to discuss with her any issue pertaining to her field. She gives all her time to listen and advices appropriately. I feel proud to recommend her to any of my colleague, friend or my patients, as I have experienced her services myself. Speech therapy services are quite few in the country and not really affordable for some. Lorna is working hard to provide an affordable, uninterrupted service that the country is really in need of. We really need to support her in this great initiative.
