Special needs kids, especially those on the autistic spectrum, struggle with social skills. The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) may detect autism spectrum disorders early (ASD). This abstract examines how the M-CHAT improves social skills in special needs children. The M-CHAT is a thorough screening questionnaire for 16–30-month-olds to detect ASD. It aids early detection and intervention, enabling focused assistance and better results. The M-influence CHAT’s on social interaction development has been studied beyond its diagnostic value. The M-CHAT may help special-needs youngsters learn social skills. Early detection of ASD markers allows experts to customise treatments and therapy for these youngsters. Speech, vocational, and social skills training are examples. M-CHAT research on social interaction development is promising. These studies show that M-CHAT early detection leads to rapid treatment and better social interaction abilities. The M-CHAT also helps caregivers and educators encourage, engage, and create inclusive settings. M-CHAT intervention results need more study. Investigating the M-CHAT components that contribute to the reported benefits and finding the best time and frequency of its execution will increase its use in clinical and educational contexts. M-CHAT screening may improve special needs children’s social abilities. M-CHAT early detection and assistance improves these children’s social development. Future study and collaboration are needed to maximise the M-advantages CHAT’s for special-needs children’s social inclusion.
