The Gilliam Autism Rating Scale (GARS-3), now in its third edition, is one of the most widely used instruments for the assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorder in the world. The GARS-3 assists teachers, parents, and clinicians in identifying autism in individuals and estimating its severity. Items on the GARS-3 reflect 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). The GARS-3 yields standard scores, percentile ranks, severity level, and probability of Autism.

This instrument consists of 56 clearly stated items describing the characteristic behaviors of persons with autism. GARS-3 includes six subscales: Restrictive/Repetitive Behaviors, Social Interaction, Social Communication, Emotional Responses, Cognitive Style, and Maladaptive Speech.

New Features of the GARS-3

  • Items and subscales reflect DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder.
  • Forty-four new items
  • All six subscales empirically determined to be valid and sensitive for identification of children with ASD.
  • Normative data (N = 1,859) collected in 2010 and 2011.
  • Demographic characteristics of the normative sample reflect those reported by U.S. Census Bureau, 2011.
  • An interpretation guide in the Examiner’s Manual allows the examiner an easy and efficient method for assessing the probability of autism spectrum disorder and the severity of the disorder.

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.
  • Examiner’s Manual provides other validity evidence.

    As a mother of a fourth-grader who has Asperger's, I particularly enjoy all of the games and social skills activities that you have available. All of your products appear to be so fun and enjoyable for the kids, that they probably don't even realize that they are picking up some very important life skills while they are playing them. That's important, because, after all, why shouldn't social skills games be just as entertaining as any childrens game? You guys obviously 'get' kids ---thanks!!!
