Its purpose is to help professionals identify Autism Spectrum Disorders, but in a school setting, it is used to help educational teams determine whether a child may meet MN State Educational Criteria for receiving special education services under the Autism Spectrum Disorder category. It is important to clarify that this is not a medical diagnosis, but rather a category to receive special education services. The GARS-2 gathers information about specific characteristics typically noted in children with autism spectrum disorders in three areas (Stereotyped Behaviors, Communication, and Social Interaction) and it contains a developmental history. The GARS-2 was normed entirely of individuals diagnosed as autistic. Standard scores and percentiles are provided and the likelihood of autism can be determined. Educational staff at XXXX School and XXXXs parents completed the GARS-2. The results were as follows: HOME Rating Rater: XXX Name Standard Score %ile Standard Score %ile Stereotyped Behaviors XX XX% XX XX% Communication XX XX% XX XX% Social Interaction XX XX% XX XX% Sum of Standard Scores XX XX Autism Index XX XX% XX XX% Probability of Autism is Unlikely, Possibly, Very Likely. SCHOOL Rating Rater: XXX Name Standard Score %ile Standard Score %ile Stereotyped Behaviors XX XX% XX XX% Communication XX XX% XX XX% Social Interaction XX XX% XX XX% Sum of Standard Scores XX XX Autism Index XX XX% XX XX% Probability of Autism is Unlikely, Possibly, Very Likely. Note: On this tool, if the subjects Autism Index is 85 or above, the person is very likely autistic, and if the Autism Index is 70-84, the person is possibly autistic. Autism Indexes of 69 or less indicate that the person is unlikely to be autistic. The following items were rated frequently observed in each of the following categories: Stereotyped Behaviors Identified: Avoids establishing eye contact, looks away when eye contact is made Stares at hands, objects, or items in the environment for at least 5 seconds Rapidly flicks fingers or hands in front of eyes for periods of 5 seconds or more Eats specific foods and refuses to eat what most people will usually eat Licks, tastes or attempts to eat inedible objects Smells or sniffs objects Whirls, turns in circles Spins objects not designed for spinning Rocks back and forth while seated or standing Makes rapid lunging, darting movement when moving from place to place Prances (walks on tiptoes) Flaps hand or fingers in front of face or at sides Makes high-pitched sounds or other vocalizations for self-stimulation Slaps, hits, or bites self or attempts to injure self in other ways Communication Behaviors Identified: Repeats (echoes) words verbally or with signs Repeats words out of context Repeats words or phrases over and over Speaks or signs with flat tone or with dysrhythmic patterns Responds inappropriately to simple commands Looks away or avoids looking at speaker when name is called Does not ask for things he or she wants Does not initiate conversations with peers or adults Uses yes and no inappropriately Uses pronouns inappropriately Uses the word I inappropriately Repeats unintelligible sounds over and over Uses gestures instead of speech or signs to obtain objects Inappropriately answers questions about a statement or brief story Social Interaction Behaviors Identified: Avoids eye contact;
