Autism Resources Online

Autism spectrum disorders: Screening and early identification.
Responding to the interest of the National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders, NECTAC queried Part C and Section 619 Coordinators about their screening measures, diagnostic instruments and procedures, and trends in identifying young children with ASD under the age of five years. Hot off the press, here's what NECTAC found (4 pages).

And speaking of autism spectrum disorders ...
The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Library offers a new edition of its knowledge path on ASD, an electronic guide to resources about screening for ASD, diagnosis, treatment and intervention, communication, education, vocational challenges, and impact on family life. Available online at:
