Autism Behavior Inventory Short Form (ABI-S)
The Autism Behavior Inventory Short Form (ABI-S), is a 24-item caregiver report developed for assessing changes in core and associated symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is designed to capture the behavior of individuals with ASD, aged three to adult, that have occurred over the past week. It is a web or paper based tool which assesses behavior across five domains (two ASD core domains: social communication, restrictive and repetitive behaviors; three associated domains: mental health, self-regulation, and challenging behavior). The ABI-S takes less time to complete than the full ABI and may be used for more frequent assessments. The paper version of the ABI-S is available for download and use, subject to conditions.
