A tablet-based screening tool that analyzes children’s behavior in response to specific video clips shows promise for enhancing early autism screening, according to a study supported in part by the National Institute of Mental Health.
While early autism screening typically depends on parent questionnaires, data suggest the accuracy of these assessments may vary across settings and populations. Objective measurement tools, including digital technologies, could help improve screening in real-world settings and reduce disparities in early screening and identification.
