Child Assessment - Useful Resources and Forms


The following resources are for informational purposes ONLY. No questionnaires or online tests should replace a face to face clinical interview or used to evaluate a child's functioning. We offer access to the forms and tests below to help formulating your assessment question and to provide a structured way of thinking about your child's functioning.


CPAC Parent Interview Form 
To reduce the parent interview time on the day of the assessment, we comprised a structured interview form that you may print and complete at home.

Autism Rating Scale 
The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) was designed to screen children between 16 months to 30 months old who are believed to be at risk of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The M-CHAT is a 23 item scale, completed by parents or caregivers. Although freely available, please note that the M-CHAT was NOT designed to be scored by the parent completing it and concerned parents should contact us to arrange an individual assessment for their child. For informational purposes a scoring guideline can be accessed here .
