Study 1 included 15 children with Autism and 15 children with Developmental Delay (DD) or language impairment (LI) aged between 24 and 35 months. Study 2 had 77 young children with Autism, PDD-NOS, or DD/LI as a clinical-based validation sample. In Study 1, the signal detection procedure found that a cutoff score of 2 would yield high sensitivity and specificity in T-STAT. In Study 2, using a score of 2 as a cutoff, the agreement between T-STAT risk and ADOS classification was highly acceptable. Results were promising as a Level 2 screening tool for Autism for ages two to three.

Development of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale-Brief Form for early detection of autism spectrum disorder in toddlers under three / Yuh-Ming HOU ; Lai-Sang IAO ; Chin-Chin WU in Research in Autism, 126 (August 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 126 (August 2025) . - p.202645 Titre : Development of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale-Brief Form for early detection of autism spectrum disorder in toddlers under three Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yuh-Ming HOU, Auteur ; Lai-Sang IAO, Auteur ; Chin-Chin WU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202645 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Childhood Autism Rating Scale  Brief Form  Developmental delays  Sensitivity  Specificity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Early diagnosis and intervention could improve the prognosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study aimed to investigate the validity of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) in toddlers with ASD under 3 years and develop an efficient abbreviated version for early diagnosis of ASD. Methods Two studies were conducted to evaluate the validity of the CARS for detecting ASD. Study 1 examined the differences between 30 toddlers with ASD and 30 toddlers with developmental delays (DD) and analyzed the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Critical items were selected as the CARS-Brief Form (CARS-BF) and cutoff scores were determined. Study 2 involved 206 toddlers, including 115 with ASD, 34 with mild-ASD, and 57 with DD, to validate the utility of the CARS-BF. Results Study 1 identified 7 items for the CARS-BF and found the optimal cutoff scores to be 12.5 and 13. Study 2 confirmed the optimal cutoff score of 12.5 and 13 for the CARS-BF and demonstrated good accuracy. Besides, the cutoff score of 13 exhibited high sensitivity (88.7 %) and specificity (84.2 %). Conclusion The CARS-BF demonstrated a high level of accuracy. It can be utilized as an effective tool for identifying toddlers with ASD in clinical settings.

Service system and cognitive outcomes for young children with autism spectrum disorders in a rural area of Taiwan / Ching-Lin CHU in Autism, 21-5 (July 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 21-5 (July 2017) . - p.581-591 Titre : Service system and cognitive outcomes for young children with autism spectrum disorders in a rural area of Taiwan Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ching-Lin CHU, Auteur ; Chung-Hsin CHIANG, Auteur ; Chin-Chin WU, Auteur ; Yuh-Ming HOU, Auteur ; Jiun-Horng LIU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.581-591 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Chiayi is a rural county located in southwestern Taiwan, and the effectiveness of its early intervention service system for autism spectrum disorders was studied in detail. A total of 71 children with autism spectrum disorders (n=35) and developmental delay (n=36) aged 2.5?years were referred from the only Early Intervention Reporting and Referral Center in Chiayi and followed up at 4?years. Results showed relatively low and varied services of early intervention for both groups during two time-point periods and a relative lack of specific early intervention programs for children with autism spectrum disorders. It was found, however, that cognitive abilities were increased for autism spectrum disorders and developmental delay groups. Additionally, the Early Learning Score at the initial evaluation could contribute to the high learner autism spectrum disorders subgroup. Parental socio-economic level was also determined to benefit the high learner developmental delay subgroup.

T-STAT for detecting autism spectrum disorder in toddlers aged 18-24 months / Chin-Chin WU in Autism, 25-4 (May 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-4 (May 2021) . - p.911-920 Titre : T-STAT for detecting autism spectrum disorder in toddlers aged 18-24 months Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Chin-Chin WU, Auteur ; Chung-Hsin CHIANG, Auteur ; Ching-Lin CHU, Auteur ; Lai-Sang IAO, Auteur ; Yuh-Ming HOU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.911-920 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  screening  sensitivity  specificity  toddler Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The benefits of early intervention for young children with autism spectrum disorder highlight the importance of early diagnosis. Reliable diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder can be made before 24?months of age. However, many children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at a later age. Delayed diagnosis can occur for children with less severe symptoms and lead to missed opportunities for early intervention. This current study was executed to examine the Taiwanese version of the Screening Tool for Autism in Two-Year-Olds in detecting autism spectrum disorder in toddlers between 18 and 24?months of age. One strength of this study was the inclusion of toddlers with autism spectrum disorder or mild-autism spectrum disorder using the strict and relaxed Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) criteria for autism spectrum disorder simultaneously. The results of this study supported that diagnosis of toddlers with autism spectrum disorder could be made reliable before 24?months of age. And the Taiwanese version of the Screening Tool for Autism in Two-Year-Olds was a Level 2 autism-specific screening tool for toddlers aged from 18 to 24?months in Taiwan.
