• Age Range: 3 months through 6 years
• Time: 15-30 minutes

The EASIC-3 measures receptive and expressive language skills of children with autism and other developmental language delays.

It assesses prelinguistic skills, semantics, syntax, morphology, and pragmatics at five levels:

1. Pre-Language- before meaningful speech
2. Receptive I-  understanding simple noun labels, action verbs, and basic concepts
3. Expressive I-  emerging modes of communication
4. Receptive II-  understanding more complex language functions
5. Expressive II-  using a more complex level of communication

Once the assessment is completed, results can be displayed on the Skills profile, which provides space for up to five assessments, taken over time.  Results can also be portrayed on the Developmental Age Chart, where communication skills are arranged in easy-to-difficult order, along with normal age ranges for each acquired skill.
