In this post, we will be providing information about some resources for autistic kids using which you can help them to develop various skills so that they can function healthily in the society like the other kids.

Our list consists of some selected materials that are very effective for improving the brain function and behavioral characteristics of any kid with a developmental disorder like ASD.

The results you will get with the use of these materials depends on various factors like the severeness of the problem and involvement as well as the dedication of the kid’s guardian or parent. It is obvious that the first point is not in our hands but the latter one totally depends upon our willingness to help the kid.

Since autism is a rare and complicated developmental disorder, we cannot be certain about how these resources will work for any particular kid. We have only created a list based on our research on this subject so we highly recommend you to take appropriate medical assistance where ever you feel it is necessary.

1 – Fun Learning Activities

In the last post, we discussed a screening tool called CHAT, this is a continuation of that post and here we will be discussing the modified checklist for autism in toddlers (M-CHAT). This screening tool is prepared for babies who fall under the age limit of 16-30 months.

As the name suggests, this screening method is a modified version of the previous one. Using this checklist even the mild symptoms of Autism in children can be detected. This checklist is prepared in a way that any developmental disorder can be identified at its initial stage in any particular kid.

Even though M-CHAT is highly efficient in recognizing the symptoms of autism or any similar disorder, the chances of errors and false interpretations are very high while using this process. Also, this checklist does not confirm or accurately points out the actual issue. Continue reading “Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M – CHAT)”

In our last post on the 2-stage process, we gave a brief introduction on the checklist for Autism in Toddlers, here we are going to give you a detailed information regarding the same.

CHAT is a screening tool which applies to any kid who is close to the 18 month age mark. When you detect the signs of Autism in your kid then you can use this method to accurately analyze the ability of a child to express their need to others using basic language skills by comparing it with the pre-established age wise developmental characteristics.

This process is divided into two parts, one is for the parents or the guardians of the kid whereas the other is concerned about the direct observation of the behavior of the child.

Although we suggest that this screening tool is best used under the guidance of a therapist or any child expert, but unlike in the second stage of the 2-stage process, this one can also be performed at home by acquiring the proper knowledge of it(we will provide links to the books later in this post).

We have mentioned the 2-stage process in our earlier post “Autism in Children”, here we will give a detailed explanation on how to diagnose autism in children.

Though it is best advised to take a professional support for diagnosing autism in kids, yet we will provide you the links to some very good books using which you can do this at home.

A therapist or a psychologist can always give an accurate report of the 2-stage process but since this process does not involve anything more than a meticulous examination of the child’s behavior, you can do your homework by acquiring proper knowledge about this disorder.

Autism is usually detected after the age of two or more, but as our previous post on “signs of autism in children” suggests, in some special cases, it can also be identified in babies.

The 2-stage process is something incomplete without a professional support but what we are trying to help you with is the first stage of this whole methodology because, in the first stage, there are only two main requirements i.e observation and knowledge.

We are going to discuss a few signs of autism in toddlers here and this is a continuation of our previous post that talked about the 4 signs of autism in children.

Autism is not a disorder which can be is easily identified at an early age. In fact, the behavior of a baby cannot always give us an accurate idea of whether it is affected by any disorder.

Keeping this in mind we want to clarify that you should not get paranoid or worried after reading these signs since none of these symptoms imply with total certainty that any baby is autistic.

Even though it is not advised to get too serious about the symptoms of ASD that can appear in a baby. Knowing the signs and acquiring proper information can help you to avoid or prepare yourself for any futuristic problem.
