Today I’m talking all about my preferred battery for assessing autism spectrum disorders. I get a lot of questions in the Facebook group about specific batteries for different referral questions. Knowing of course that batteries will vary depending on the individual, here are the core components of my typical ASD evaluations:

  • A good, solid clinical interview using the ADI-R or a modified version I created
  • A school observation or observation of peer interaction
  • Testing: WPPSI/WISC, WIAT (if academic concerns are present, or to get a sense of math abilities), RCFT, CVLT-C, D-KEFS (Trails, Tower, Color-Word Interference, 20 Questions or Proverbs), CCPT3 (if concerned about ADHD), ADOS-2, and behavior checklists (BASC-3, BRIEF-2, and SRS-2).
  • About Dr. Jeremy Sharp
