help with GADS test scoring

[Guest guest]

This may be a long shot, but does anybody have info on how to score the

Gillaim Aspergers Disorder Scale test?

We did this with the school psychologist and I just want to check her

math, without asking her personally and risking annoying her.

I just need to know how to calculate the raw score, standard score, and

percentile. I have a copy of our original test.

can anybody help?

thanks!

, if you google " Gilliam Asperger's Disorder Scale " you can order

copies of the test kit and examiner's manual, although this looks like it

costs $100 or so.

If you don't want to do this, two ideas:

1. Check out the following link and e-mail address to Dr. Gilliam. He may

have suggestions for you.

This scale consists of several sub-scales including: Restricted Pattern of

Behavior, Cognitive Patterns, Pragmatic Skills, Early Development, and Key

Question. This scale can be completed by both parents and professionals.

This scale is new, so please consider recommending it to those professionals

working with your children. Dr. Gilliam is the author of several rating

scales including the GARS (Gilliam Autism Rating Scale). In addition, Dr.

Gilliam is interested in hearing from families who might like to participate

in the norming of his scales. For more information contact him at:

jgilliam@...

The Gilliam Autism Rating Scale is being revised. Research is being done to

improve this test and enhance its use. Would you be interested in

participating in this research? By selecting the link to the survey site,

you will be able to complete the GARS on-line on someone you know who has

autism. This will only take 5-10 minutes of your time. Your participation

and the participation of others is needed to improve this useful diagnostic

instrument. If you need further information, contact Dr. E. Gilliam

at: jgilliam@... or at his website: pages.tstar.net

<http://pages.tstar.net/~jgilliam> Please inform others you know who might

be interested in this research. We need as many participants as possible.

Thank you in advance for your participation and support.

2. E-mail or write an entity at the Central Michigan University,

called CALL : Email: CALL@... <mailto:CALL@...> . Phone:
