Training in Early Autism Screening (STAT™)
Early identification of autism is a critical first step toward providing the specialized intervention services that are associated with significant gains in learning and behavior. Yet there is a considerable delay between the average age of initial parent concerns (16-20 months) and the age at which children receive a definitive diagnosis (3-4 years). The Screening Tool for Autism in Toddlers and Young Children (STAT™) (Stone et. al., 2004; 2008) is a level 2 screening tool specifically developed to help community service providers identify early behavioral features of autism, thus facilitating earlier referral and treatment. The STAT consists of 12 items and takes about 20 minutes to administer. Because of the interactive format of the STAT and the subtlety of the early social-communication markers of autism, training is necessary to ensure appropriate administration and interpretation. The on-line STAT Training Tutorial reviews the key social and communicative behaviors associated with early identification as well as how to set up the interactive situations required to rate children on each dimension. The tutorial includes interactive exercises and video examples to facilitate learning.

The STAT tutorial is available through Vanderbilt University, http://stat.vueinnovations.com/about/stat-training . STAT Workshops are available through the University of Washington READi Lab, www.uwreadilab.com
