You can have these results emailed to as many as three people and/or organizations, such as your child's clinician using a evidence-based medical approach, ABA therapist, speech therapist, etc. Simply type in their email address below. However, please read the privacy note below.

Message to Parents regarding patient privacy issues.
Because of recent governmental regulations intended to protect the privacy of patients, some clinicians/therapists may not permit information identifying your son/daughter on their email server in filling out the ATEC online. In such cases, you may want to use a code or nickname to identify your child. This code can be placed in the child's first/last name field of the ATEC form. In addition, you may want to avoid including any other identifying information (e.g., telephone number), if you are concerned about privacy. However, we do need your email address. Your email address will not be sent to the clinician/therapist. Only the ATEC scores and responses to ATEC questionnaire items will be forwarded.

Check the box if you would like to have the summary and subscale scores as well as your responses to each question emailed to you?

We suggest that you contact the clinician/therapist in advance to determine the best way to send your child’s ATEC results.
