The M-CHAT
Children 3 and younger
The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) helps parents assess their child's risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). By answering questions about their child’s behavior, parents receive an autism risk score. This score can help parents decide if their child needs a more thorough evaluation.

Frequently asked questions
View all FAQs
How will ABA therapy help my child?
ABA therapy uses positive reinforcement and play-based activities to help children reach milestones and change their behaviors. Our programming is tailored to each child’s needs and is designed to produce results you can feel good about.
What is ABA therapy, and how does it work?
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is an evidence-based treatment for autism that uses positive reinforcement to help children with autism reduce target behaviors and learn new skills.
ABA therapy, like that administered at Action Behavior Centers, is tailored to the individual needs of the child.
When is the best time for my child to begin ABA therapy?
Simply stated: the earlier, the better.
Clinical research has demonstrated that children who start ABA therapy as early as possible (~2 years old) make the most significant improvements. We serve children on the autism spectrum from 18 months to 14 years and offer personalized programming for their unique needs. Therapy program options may differ based on clinic. Please reach out directly to a clinic near you.
Does ABA therapy work for autism?
Yes! Every child with autism is unique, and some children experience more significant progress with ABA therapy than others. However, studies show that children who receive two or more years of intensive behavioral interventions, such as ABA therapy, can often participate in school and social activities at the same level as their peers.
