The Greenbush Autism Assessment Team (AAT) aims to help remove barriers to accessing diagnostic developmental appointments for children in the southeast Kansas area. The team provides evaluations for ages 18 months to 5 years in partnership with local pediatricians and the University of Kansas Center for Childhood Health and Development (CCHD).

How it Works

If you have autism concerns for a child over the age of 5, it is recommended that you speak with your child’s physician and academic team about your concerns and testing options. Some school districts do provide autism testing.

Make a Referral

Referrals to the Autism Assessment Team can be made by medical professionals, caregivers, or the child’s academic or early intervention team. It is recommended that screening for autism be completed prior to the referral. Appropriate autism screening tools include MCHAT-R (for children 16-30 months of age), TASI (for children 12-36 months of age, an Ages and Stages Social Emotional Questionnaire, and the ASRS (Autism Spectrum Rating Scales).

Following a positive screening, complete the Autism Evaluation Referral.

Intervention Services

For children 3 and under you can request a free developmental evaluation with Birth to Three. You may also want to consider programs such as Parents as Teachers and Early Head Start.

If your child is over the age of 3, you can request an evaluation for special education services by calling your local school district and requesting a “Child Find Screening.”
