What does the Autism Test (Child) Assessment cover?
The ASSQ is a 27-item screening questionnaire completed by a parent or teacher, covering social interaction, communication style, restricted interests, routines and motor differences, to indicate whether a fuller autism assessment may be worthwhile.
Who is this Autism Test (Child) Assessment for?
Helpful if you:
👨👩👧 Are a parent wondering whether your child's development differs from their peers
🏫 Are a teacher noticing social or communication differences in a pupil
📝 Have been asked by a professional to complete this
For therapists:
Use the ASSQ as an initial screen when autistic traits are suspected in a child aged roughly 6 to 16, to inform whether onward referral for formal assessment is appropriate. It is a screening measure and not a diagnostic tool. Fully HIPAA and GDPR compliant.
