What is the ADOS-2?
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule - Second Edition (ADOS-2) is a semi-structured, standardised assessment of communication, social interaction, play, and behaviour. It has been designed to assist in the diagnosis of autism and is a complementary instrument to the Autism Diagnostic Interview Revised (ADI-R).

What does the training include?

· Hands on administration of Modules 1-4 of the ADOS-2 to lived experienced volunteers

· Small group learning -remove this for something more informative

· Intensive instruction and support to administer and code the ADOS-2

Due to the intensive nature of this training the group is limited to 10 participants. Morning/afternoon tea and lunch is included.

Completion of pre-course work is required. Materials will be sent 1-2 weeks prior to the workshop date.

Who is the training for?
Clinicians seeking to improve their level of skill and accuracy in their administration and coding of the ADOS-2, and anyone using ADOS-2 in research.

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.
