Hello everyone! This amazing app was created by a father who has a child with autism. He aimed to assist other parents and professionals who engage with autistic children. The app is designed around the ATEC test from the American Autism Research Institute. It is tailored for children aged 5 to 12, but can also be used for children aged 3 to 4 if there are concerns about autism. It serves as a preliminary assessment before visiting a doctor, providing valuable assistance.
The ATEC test serves as a tool to assess the progress of children with autism or to identify potential signs of autism in a child. A lower score indicates better outcomes. It is important to note that this test is not intended for diagnosing conditions or providing an official diagnosis. Instead, it provides various scores for different areas and an overall score that can be used for comparison at a later time.
To improve accuracy in scoring, it is recommended to have multiple individuals who engage with the child administer the test. The application will calculate the results and show the average score for that day on a chart. If a person scores above 30 points, they should contact a specialist for a comprehensive evaluation and precise diagnosis.
Simply put, this app is useful for parents and professionals to monitor the development of children with autism or to conduct preliminary assessments for those who may have autism. However, it is important to note that the ATEC test should not be used as a definitive diagnostic tool and cannot replace a medical evaluation.
