M-CHAT

This is the test that I will be using for the students to evaluate the pseudopatients I have. It stands for Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers.(There is a follow up interview that goes with the test, but it is unbelievably long and there would be too many factors to add to it.) Here is a link to the test itself: http://www2.gsu.edu/~psydlr/Diana_L._Robins,_Ph.D._files/M-CHAT.pdf


Notes for my reference:
  •  Questions 11, 18, 20, and 22: These are reverse questions meaning the yes=pass/no=fair reverses so that yes=fail/no=pass.
  • I must score the tests myself once the students have taken it. If they were to have the answers while they were taking the test...then it would be pointless.
  • My test subjects or "pseudopatients" are not all toddlers, but they are below the age of 7. I think that this will be fine nonetheless.
