The Monteiro Interview Guidelines for Diagnosing the Autism Spectrum, Second Edition (MIGDAS-2), is a comprehensive, qualitative, sensory-based assessment designed to diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) across all age groups.
Developed by Dr. Monteiro, MIGDAS-2 builds on extensive diagnostic work and substantial research literature focusing on three key areas impacted in ASD: language and communication, social relationships and emotional responses, and sensory use and interests.
MIGDAS-2 involves gathering detailed information from parents/caregivers and teachers, and conducting a sensory-based interview with the individual. This process is often complemented by other standardised assessment measures, such as evaluations of cognitive and adaptive functioning, ensuring a holistic understanding of the individual's strengths and areas of need.
The outcome of the MIGDAS-2 assessment is a detailed behavioural profile that captures the individual's unique way of relating to the world. This profile supplements traditional assessment scores and guides both diagnosis and personalised treatment planning, providing invaluable insights for tailored support and interventions.
