COREAT

The Autism Test Repeated Behavior (COREAT) app is a test that measures the level of severity of repetitive behavior both in people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and in people with Intellectual Disability (ID). COREAT is the Spanish adaptation of the Repetitive Behavior Scale - Revised (RBS-R), an instrument that has shown excellent psychometric properties in international studies and in the Spanish population for the differential diagnosis of ASD. With this application you can obtain the level of severity of the symptoms: stereotyped, self-injurious, compulsive, similar, ritualistic and restrictive. The information provided after the test will be very useful both for the professional (obtaining percentiles for writing reports), and for family members who can visualize the severity of symptoms in simple graphs.

Important note:

If the GRAPHIC DOES NOT APPEAR when performing the test, it is because a question has been left unanswered. Therefore, it is recommended to review the questionnaire during its process. This questionnaire does not allow to include personal data. The general information provided will be totally anonymous. Similarly, the numerical data obtained will not be stored in any database for research. Finally, this application does not generate reports or a definitive clinical diagnosis.
