GARS-3™

Overview

Overview

Assists teachers, parents, and clinicians in identifying autism in individuals and estimating its severity. Items on the GARS-3 are based on the 2013 diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder adopted by the APA and published in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fifth Edition (DSM-5).

  • Items and subscales reflect DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Forty-four new items were added to the GARS-3
  • All six subscales have been empirically determined to be valid and sensitive for identification of children with ASD
  • An interpretation guide in the Examiner's Manual provides the examiner an easy and efficient method for assessing the probability of Autism Spectrum Disorder and the severity of the disorder
  • A diagnostic validation form is included for insuring that test results meet DSM-5 criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Normative Data

Normative Data

Reliability and Validity

  • Internal consistency (content sampling) reliability coefficients for the subscales exceed .85 and the Autism Indexes exceed .93
  • Test-retest (time sampling) reliability coefficients exceed .80 for subscales and .90 for the Autism Indexes
  • Interrater reliability intraclass coefficients exceed .80 and .84 for the Autism Indexes.
  • Correlations of the GARS-3 scores with those of other well-known diagnostic tests for autism are large or very large in magnitude
  • All new validity studies show that the test results are valid for a wide variety of subgroups as well as for the general population.
  • Binary classification studies indicate that the GARS-3 is able to accurately discriminate children with Autism Spectrum Disorder from children without autism (i.e., sensitivity = .97, specificity = .97, ROC/AUC = .93.
  • Confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses demonstrate the theoretical and empirical validity of the subscales.
  • Other validity evidence is provided in the manual.

Normative data (N = 1,859) were collected in 2010 and 2011. Demographic characteristics of the normative sample are keyed to those reported by U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2011.
