Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist

The Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) was developed by Bernard Rimland and Stephen M. Edelson of the Autism Research Institute, to fill this need, which is especially urgent right now because of the 20 or more studies starting soon to evaluate secretin.
The ATEC is a one-page form designed to be completed by parents, teachers, or caretakers. It consists of 4 subtests: I. Speech/Language Communication (14 items); II. Sociability (20 items); III. Sensory/ Cognitive Awareness (18 items); and IV. Health/Physical/Behavior (25 items).

The ATEC is not a diagnostic checklist. It basically provides several subscale scores as well as a total score to be used for comparison at a later date. Basically, the lower the score, the fewer the problems.

    Sensory Friendly Films


    Happy Holidays!
    The next Sensory-Friendly Film showing is the movie Frozen in 2D Gather up your kids and their friends on Saturday December 7th at 10:00am AMC Theatres!

     We Bring AMC Sensory Friendly Films to Families Affected by Autism on a Monthly Basis to Select Communities.
    The program provides a special opportunity for families to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment. The auditoriums dedicated to the program have their lights up, the sound turned down and audience members are invited to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing!

    Photo: This Saturday December 7th at 10:00am AMC Theatres is having a Sensory Friendly Film showing of Frozen in 2D.

For those that don't know, Sensory Friendly Films are first run movies but the volume isn't as loud, the lights aren't as dark and walking around is not only allowed but encouraged. Its the perfect venue for those with sensory issues. I've taken my boys and its worth the experience

For a list of participating theatres, check out this link

    As a leading theatrical exhibition company, we are so proud to be making a difference in the estimated 1.5 million Americans living with an autism spectrum disorder by offering families a chance to see a movie together — often for the very first time.

    How many of us have heard it before? You know if you just spanked, not gotten those shots, not yelled, yelled more, made him eat more, locked up the food, or my all-time favorite, “He’s just a little boy. If you just stopped hovering around him he would grow out of ‘it.’”
