What is the M-CHAT-R for toddlers?

The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised (M-CHAT-R) is an evidence-based screening tool designed to assess the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children aged 16 to 30 months.

​The M-CHAT-R is not a diagnostic tool but is an important first step in identifying potential signs of ASD. A result that indicates moderate or high risk for ASD does not necessarily mean your child will be diagnosed with ASD but suggests that further follow-up with your child's pediatrician and diagnostic testing is recommended. Our team can provide you with further information on obtaining a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation for your child at one of our centers or with one of our referral partners.
