DEVELOPMENTAL REFLECTION
Parent check-in for autism-related concerns
A private reflection tool to help you organize observations before speaking with a professional.
! This is not a diagnostic test, medical evaluation, or diagnosis.
It cannot tell you whether a child is or is not autistic. Only a qualified professional can assess and diagnose autism. A low number of observations should never override a parent’s concern.
This general check-in is intended for parents or caregivers of young children. Consider the child’s age, development, culture, language, and usual environments.
