Gilliam Autism Rating Scale - Second Edition (GARS-2)
The GARS-2, a revision of the popular Gilliam Autism Rating Scale, is a norm-referenced instrument that assists teachers, parents, and clinicians in identifying and diagnosing autism in individuals ages 3 through 22 and in estimating the severity of the child’s disorder.
Items on the GARS-2 are based on the definitions of autism adopted by the Autism Society of America and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR).
The instrument consists of 42 clearly stated items describing the characteristic behaviours of persons with autism. The items are grouped into three subscales: Stereotyped Behaviours; Communication; and Social Interaction. Using objective, frequency-based ratings, the entire scale can be completed and scored in 5 to 10 minutes. A structured interview form is included for gathering diagnostically important information from the child’s parents.
A separate booklet, Instructional Objectives for Students who have Autism, is included in the test kit to assist in the formulation of instructional goals and objectives based on the results from the GARS-2 assessment. In this way, instruction can be directly related to assessment results from the GARS-2.
