Tools

The following tools in Bengali and Hindi are provided for free for research use only. These are not clinical diagnostic tools for autism, and should be used only by those who are familiar with the usage of these tools. Commercial use of these tools is strictly prohibited.
Ten Questions (TQ)
The Ten Question (TQ) screen was designed most commonly to measure child disability in developing countries for children 2-9 years. It was designed to be applicable in virtually any cultural setting and includes questions about general functional abilities and developmental milestones rather than culture-specific skills, such as eating with a fork or tying shoelaces.
Primary caregivers of children aged 2-9 answer ten questions that screen the child for impairment or inability in the realms of speech, cognition, hearing, vision, motor/physical, and seizure disorders.
