The purpose of this study was to verify the reliability and validity of The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers(M-CHAT) and examine its usefulness by administrating it to 16-47 months old toddlers. The subjects were 69 16-47 months old toddlers with autism spectrum disorder and 29 ones from general population, and their parents. The measurement instruments were the M-CHAT, a translation of original author’s 23 items posted on Robins’ website, the Child Behavior Checklist(CBCL 1.5-5), and the Childhood Autism Rating Scale(CARS). The results showed that, for the M-CHAT, the internal agreement was 0.90(p< 0.01), and the test-retest reliability was 0.70(p< 0.01) for six critical items and 0.76(p< 0.01) for all 23 items, indicating high reliability. The correlation coefficients were found to be 0.60(p< 0.01) between DSM global developmental problem subscale T-score of CBCL 1.5-5 and selection criteria of six critical items from M-CHAT and 0.55(p< 0.01) for all 23 items from M-CHAT. In addition, the correlation coefficients were 0.66(p<0.01) between CARS total score and selection criteria of six critical items from M-CHAT and 0.63(p< 0.01) for all 23 items from M-CHAT. This study contributed in the field by verifying the reliability and validity of M-CHAT in Korean 16-47 months old toddlers with autism spectrum disorder.
