Be prepared when parents turn to you
about the possibility of an ASD diagnosis
Diagnose and treat ASD
Navigating the path of an autism spectrum
disorder diagnosis is challenging.
When you suspect a child may have ASD or
another developmental disorder, accurate
diagnosis and effective, timely intervention
are crucial to his or her developmental health.
The PDDBI is a comprehensive, standardized assessment tool that measures both
problem behaviors and social communication skills to help you assess and treat ASD.
It includes separate rating scales for parents
and teachers that address generalization
and is useful for multiple applications.
It assists with ASD diagnosis and informs
treatment recommendations and measures
change over time.
Prevalence of autism increased
in U.S. children by
119.4%
between 2000 and 2010
