CARS2
Childhood Autism Rating Scale™, Second Edition
Eric Schopler, PhD, Mary E. Van Bourgondien, PhD, Glenna Janette Wellman, PhD, and Steven R. Love, PhD
Is it autism or a
cognitive deficit?
Assess symptoms and identify autism
Students with autism exhibit a wide variety
of symptoms that can sometimes be
confused for symptoms of cognitive deficit.
Getting a clear diagnosis will help you
determine a treatment plan that’s best for
that student.
The CARS is a widely used and emp
irically validated autism assessment measure that is proven
to discriminate between
children with autism and those
with severe cognitive deficits
and distinguish mild-tomoderate from severe autism.
This second edition includes a
new form for higher functioning
individuals, a structured way
to gather caregiver information, and guidelines that link
scores to intervention.
Ratings are based not only on the frequency of behaviors but also on intensity,
peculiarity, and duration, giving you a more
nuanced approach and greater flexibility.
