"The research team from the Department of Psychology at the University of Hong Kong has conducted extensive research with empirical evidence to develop the Classroom Observation Scale for Autism in Preschool (COSA-P). This scale is designed to assist local early childhood educators in identifying children with symptoms of autism spectrum disorder in classroom settings. The research team also collaborated with educational psychologists at Caritas Rehabilitation Services to develop teacher training materials aimed at promoting the use of the COSA-P. The objective is to enhance the ability of early childhood educators to identify children with autism spectrum disorder, thereby facilitating timely intervention during this critical developmental period.
