Autism Spectrum Disorder Parent Report for Outcome Monitoring: A Preliminary Report of Development and Clinical Utility
Conclusion: The ASD-PROM is a freely available tool to gather information on developmental and behavioral functioning in children with ASD before autism-specialty clinical visits. Clinical utility and preliminary psychometrics are promising, although limitations (including a low response rate during clinical use and a need for additional in-depth assessments and potential resulting modifications to the tool) remain to be addressed. Ultimately, the ASD-PROM may help promote patient-centered and efficient care for children across a wide range of ages and developmental levels.
