Screening Methods

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Assessment and Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Part of the book series: Autism and Child Psychopathology Series ((ACPS))

Abstract

Identifying who is at risk for autism as early as possible and identifying collateral problems is the focus of screening. Unlike diagnosis, the emphasis is on assessing broader populations and narrowing a group who will receive more in depth, precise assessments leading to a final diagnosis. This chapter will review strategies and methodologies for screening.
