What is the ADOS-2?
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule Second Edition (ADOS-2) is a semi-structured, standardised assessment of communication, social interaction, and play. It provides a series of standardised contexts in which the individual's social communication, and repetitive, stereotyped behaviours can be observed. It has been designed to assist in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and is a complementary instrument to the Autism Diagnostic Interview Revised (ADI-R). Standardised toys and activities are used to present opportunities for social and communicative interaction with the examiner. A diagnostic algorithm consistent with DSM-V and ICD-10 clinical diagnoses is generated.

Who provides the training?
Psychologist Deborah Sweeney has been training clinicians in the use of the ADI-R and ADOS-2 for many years throughout Asia and the Pacific region. Deborah was previously working in autism research at Monash University and now works in private practice providing consultation for complex presentations of autism spectrum disorder.

What does the training include?
This two-day workshop introduces the ADOS-2 as an assessment tool and is a first step in the process for establishing reliability. During this training you will:

· Learn about how the ADOS-2 works

· Watch and code video recordings of demonstrations of Modules 1-4

· Discuss administration, coding, and reliability

Pre-course work including readings and videos to watch will be emailed prior to the training. This information will be assumed knowledge for the training.

In person training includes morning/afternoon tea and lunch.

This training does not include the Toddler Module; see Mindful Website for ADOS-2 Toddler Module training dates and information.

Prerequisite training
For child & adolescent clinicians: Autism Assessment Fundamentals and Co-occurring Conditions

For adult clinicians: Adult Autism Introductory + Adult Autism Advanced

Our training is only available to overseas based clinicians on a case-by-case basis. If you practice outside of Australia please email our team at mindful-asd@unimelb.edu.au to confirm your eligibility.
