Your ADOS trainer

What is the ADOS-2?

The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2; Lord, Luyster, Gotham, & Guthrie, 2012; Lord, Rutter et al., 2012) is a semi-structured, standardized measure of communication, social interaction, play and both restricted and repetitive behaviours. The ADOS-2 is often considered the gold standard observational component with individuals referred for diagnostic assessment. The ADOS-2 can be used across the lifespan and provides an opportunity for structured observation of current experience. As with any assessment tool, it should be considered as part of a comprehensive clinical assessment of autism.

This workshop introduces the ADOS-2 as a developmental assessment tool and is a first step in the process for establishing reliability. It uses a mixture of group lecture, demonstration, scoring and video demonstration of the ADOS-2 and includes all five modules of the tool (Toddler Module and Modules 1-4).

Fees

Previously, The Ministry of Health Disability Directorate had set aside funding to support these workshops. This funding is no longer available. The quoted course fee applies to all attendees.
