Global Initiatives
Early Screen Project PDQ-1
Among the most important steps a family can take with autism is early identification. We have created an easy to use early screener. The PDQ-1 Psychological Developmental Questionnaire -1. This tool is extremely useful to help a family take the vital first step toward a definitive diagnosis.
Research has well documented the importance to long term outcomes with the early identification and early treatment programs specifically designed for children with autism.
The PDQ-1 is a scientifically standardized tool which takes less than five minutes to complete and is a useful tool for all global communities.
We are currently working to translate this document into as many languages a practical for widespread use.
CAT KIT
Clinical Autism Training Kit
The CAT kit is a project which creates an easy to use kit for the global community to enhance community ability to quickly and accurately identify a child at risk of developing autism. The kit utilizes the PDQ-1 as a cornerstone to the project and incorporates other educational tools for working with newly identified children.
