Question
My husband's friend has a 3 yr old son with a difficult childhood (drug addictive mother, been moved around a lot... now stable with working father). He just turned 3 and rarely makes eye contact, and can spin endlessly. Is there a checklist for a child as old as 3 that I can give to the father?
Hi Kristen;
There is a checklist called the M-CHAT. The M-CHAT can be found at:
http://www.firstsigns.org/downloads/m-chat.PDF and the scoring at:
http://www.firstsigns.org/downloads/m-chat_scoring.PDF
After the M-CHAT is complete please have him email me the results.
Kind Regards,
James

| Comment | Thank you for your help! I think the child would pass the test, but I'll take it to his dad anyway! I don't want him to slip through any cracks! | ||
