Child Autism and Neurodevelopment Strengths (CANS) Checklist

Our goal was to develop a checklist that could be completed by caregivers at the time of diagnostic assessment and reviewed by clinicians as part of the diagnostic assessment and observation. This checklist can be used to contribute to an integrated strengths-based approach for the diagnostic narrative that meets caregivers’, clinicians’, and children’s needs.
