M-CHAT-R/F:
The M-CHAT-R/F (Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised) is the most recommended autism screening tool by the American Academy of Pediatrics as of 2019. It is designed to assess the risk of autism in preschool children aged 16 months and older by asking about 20 behaviors related to your child’s actions. The results will indicate whether further evaluation is needed and guide discussions with a pediatrician on the next steps for treatment.
Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ):
The SCQ is a widely used screening tool in academic research for autism spectrum disorders. It consists of 40 questions for parents to answer, screening children with a chronological age over 4 years and a mental age over 2 years.
qEEG brainwave Analysis:
Using a device equipped with 19 sensors, the qEEG collects brainwave activity from different parts of the brain. The sensors, placed on the scalp, capture the brainwaves, which are then compared with a database to identify abnormalities. This helps pediatricians and psychiatrists effectively assess, screen, and provide further treatment for emotional problems and disorders in children.
ADOS-2:
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2), is an assessment tool used to diagnose and differentiate autism. A professional assessor observes the child’s behavior in a standardized setting using various tools and modules, suitable for children 12 months and older as well as adults. ADOS is regarded as the gold standard for autism diagnosis in many countries and is widely used worldwide.
qEEG Neurofeedback Analysis:
Using a device equipped with 19 sensors, the Neurofeedback collects brainwave activity from different parts of the brain. The sensors, placed on the scalp, capture the brainwaves, which are then compared with a database to identify abnormalities. This helps pediatricians and psychiatrists effectively assess, screen, and provide further treatment for emotional problems and disorders in children.
DSM-5:
Our pediatricians and psychiatrists use the DSM-5® (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition) published by the American Psychiatric Association as the standard for diagnosing various mental disorders. Mental disorders do not always fit neatly into a single disease category; DSM-5® provides clear classifications of distinct disorders. Some symptom areas, such as depression and anxiety, span multiple diagnostic categories and may reflect common underlying vulnerabilities across a broad range of disorders.
Strengthsthe and Normal Behaviour Scale (SWAN):
The SWAN is an internationally recognized tool supported by multiple medical studies for screening ADHD. It assesses 18 related characteristics to identify:
1.ADHD-Inattentive Type
2.ADHD-Hyperactive/Impulsive Type
3.Combined Type (Hyperactive and Inattentive)
Target Group:
Children aged 6-18 years (many medical studies also validate SWAN for children aged 4 and above)
