What is the ADOS-2 Toddler Module?
The Toddler Module of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) is a fifth module that is specifically designed to assess children with limited expressive language who are between the ages of 12 and 30 months. Similar to the other ADOS-2 modules, the Toddler Module consists of standardised activities in which communication, social interactions, and restricted and repetitive behaviours relevant to the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be observed.
Who is the training for?
This one-day workshop is designed for those with experience in working with very young children (12-30 months) both with and without autism spectrum disorder and with a background in standardised testing. Participants are required to have completed the ADOS-2 Introductory training.
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 one-day workshop introduces the ADOS-2 Toddler Module and includes lecture, videos, practice with scoring, and discussions.
