This set of products helps evaluation teams assess and diagnose Asperger's Syndrome in children and adolescents. The MIGDAS – which includes a Manual, a Pre-Interview Checklist, a Parent and Teacher Interview, and a Diagnostic Student Interview – provides an efficient, systematic way to gather and organise diagnostic information from multiple sources.
