RITA-T Research | Overview
An Interactive Autism Screening Tool for Early Childhood Providers
Currently the average age of diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder in the US is close to 4 years of age (signs can be seen as early as 12 months of age).
It is important to think of a new system and new way to identify early ASD:
To identify early to treat early and to change the course of the disorder and significantly reduce its impact.
This is an urgent public health need and not only in the US but globally.
The RITA-T will allow the screening and identification of toddlers as early as 18 months of age.
