Testimonials

The conversation starters are truly the most phenomenal product I've purchased. I was excited when I received them and they really do teach spontaneous conversation. I also carry them around everywhere because they're such a convenient size. Thank you! These have helped my students greatly.

The conversation starters are wonderful. I even use them with my students who can't read and they quickly learn to sight read the prompts. Great idea!

I have bought hundreds of materials for my child over the years and I have to say that my favorite are the social story books and the conversation starters.

IS IT AUTISM?

THE M-CHAT SCORES

The M-CHAT is used for young children. While there are many typical young children that are late speakers, you'll be hard pressed to find a typical child with no interest in their peers and continual repetitive behavior. Therefore, the test is trying to compare apples to apples as much as possible.  HOWEVER, the M-CHAT is in no way, an accurate diagnosis. It is tool for seek a comprehensive evaluation depending on the scores a child receives.
 
SCORES
The rule of thumb is that:
If a child fails 3 out of 23 questions, then the child is at risk for a developmental delay and should seek an evaluation as soon as possible.
 
OR
There are 6 critical questions on this test. These are all associated with joint attention and social behavior. If a child fails 2 of the 6 critical questions, it's often an indicator of a developmental disorder and the parent should seek an evaluation as soon as possible.
These are the six critical questions. 
 
2. NO
7. NO
