Abstract

Considering that children under diagnostic investigation for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) should conduct full audiological assessment to establish the differential diagnosis, the aim of this communication is to report an ASD screening intervention proposal in an audiological assessment service. An evaluation procedure was implemented so that children at risk for ASD could be detected among those that undergo audiological assessment. We highlight the potentialities revealed in this intervention with views to the differential diagnosis between deafness and ASD.
