IS there a reason? Does anyone know?
I found this in a report to paliament by the All Party Parliamentary Group for Autism - made in 2001- ie the year ds1 was busing failing all relevant areas of the CHAT test (which wasn't done) whilst I was being told he definitely wasn't autistic:
"early intervention can only be achieved by early identification ? the need for the national adoptionof the CHAT "
So WHY are they not doing that then????????????????
Now I would be on for everyone writing to thier local PCT/MP and asking why the CHAT isn't being used. Unless anyone knows a reason why it isn't.
Apolgies for kind of x posting as well.
I do see this as something that is a) worth campaigning for (especially having read the thread on B and D last week) and b) probably achievable. I do suspect that if they introduce the CHAT then they may be forced into providing early intervention.
