AVEST vs. Traditional Autism Screening: A Comparison

 AVEST vs. Traditional Autism Screening: A Comparison

Here's a comparison of AVEST and traditional autism screening tools/services, focusing on time to diagnosis, cost, inconvenience, and health concerns:

Time to Diagnosis:

AVEST: The video analysis and report generation are completed within 24-48 hours. Additionally, online consultations with specialists (Early Intervention Package) can be scheduled quickly.

Traditional: Wait times for appointments with specialists can be weeks or even months. Evaluations and diagnostic testing can take several days or even weeks.

Financial Cost:

AVEST: Individual screening costs RM280 (special offer price), significantly cheaper than traditional assessments typically ranging from RM500 to RM1500. Additional support packages offer more comprehensive support at a premium price.

Traditional: Consultations, evaluations, and testing can be expensive, totaling thousands of Ringgit depending on the specialist and tests needed. Insurance coverage often varies.

Inconvenience:

AVEST: Screenings can be done at home using a smartphone or tablet, eliminating the need to travel to clinics or hospitals. This is especially convenient for families with young children or limited mobility.

Traditional: Traveling to clinics or hospitals, waiting for appointments, and managing multiple visits can be stressful and time-consuming, especially for families with working parents and young children.

Health Concerns:

AVEST: Screenings are non-invasive and involve no physical contact with the child. This eliminates concerns about exposure to germs and illnesses in clinic settings, particularly important for children with weak immune systems.

Traditional: Clinic visits expose children to potential pathogens and sick individuals, especially in crowded waiting rooms. This can be a concern for children with weak immune systems or sensitivities.

Additional Considerations:

Accessibility: AVEST offers greater accessibility to autism screening, particularly for families in rural areas or those facing transportation challenges. We provide guidance for individual to navigate through the screening process.

Early Intervention: Early detection through AVEST allows for faster access to intervention services, leading to potentially better outcomes for children with autism. AVEST operator will issue referal letter to refer high risk children directly to our specialist instead of a normal waiting time of a year before the first consultation with specialist.

Overall, AVEST presents a significant advantage in terms of time, cost, convenience, and health concerns compared to traditional autism screening methods. It offers a readily accessible, affordable, and non-invasive option for families concerned about their child's development.
