Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised (M-CHAT-R™)

The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised (M-CHAT-R) is a screener that will ask a series of 20 questions about your child’s behavior. It's intended for toddlers between 16 and 30 months of age. The results will let you know if a further evaluation may be needed. You can use the results of the screener to discuss any concerns that you may have with your child’s healthcare provider.

Please answer questions to reflect your child's usual behaviors. If the behavior is rare (e.g., you've seen it only once or twice), answer as if the child has not acquired the behavior.

M-CHAT-R risk score:

The score indicates low risk, but if your child is younger than 24 months, or you have other concerns you should talk to your doctor about rescreening.

Have questions? Contact our Autism Response Team at 888-AUTISM2 (288-4762) or [email protected].

This questionnaire is designed to screen for autism, not other developmental issues. It is important to discuss any concerns about your child’s development with his or her doctor.

M-CHAT-R risk score:

The score indicates medium risk. This means you should take your child to his or her doctor for a follow-up screening. You can also seek early intervention services for your child.

Our First Concern to Action Tool Kit will help you learn how to begin early intervention services.

Message to Health Care Providers:

Dear Health Care Provider,

The parent or caregiver of one of your patients has concerns about their child's development. He or she has taken the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised (M-CHAT-R), which is freely available online. The M-CHAT-R is a screening tool that has been endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics to be administered at 18 and 24 months.

The M-CHAT-R is a screening tool, and because no screening tool is perfect, research recommends that the original 20 questions include a Follow-Up Interview. This interview will improve the specificity of the screen, and also provides an opportunity for you to discuss the parent or caregiver's specific concerns. Administering the M-CHAT-R Follow-Up Interview may also reduce unnecessary referrals.

A guide to administering the Follow-Up Interview is found here: http://www.autismspeaks.org/sites/default/files/2018-09/m-chatinterview.pdf

More information about the M-CHAT-R can be found at: http://www.mchatscreen.com

Thank you for your time with this patient and his/her family. For more information please visit: http://www.autismspeaks.org/first-concern-action.

Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge’s Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher. The test is not a means for making a diagnosis, however, and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger’s report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives.

UPDATE: Due to the age of the code powering the calculation required for the test it no longer works. We are coding a more modern version that will be available shortly. Manual calculation of the score is available by following the instructions at the bottom of the test.
