Overview

The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule – 2nd Edition (ADOS-2) is a direct observation instrument designed to aid in the diagnostic assessment of autism spectrum disorders in people of different ages, developmental levels, and language abilities. This introductory training is appropriate for professionals with previous training in diagnostic assessment, as well as direct testing experience with individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions.

The ADOS-2 Introductory Training for Module T (Toddler) through Module 4 will use a lecture format and live demonstrations to introduce the basic principles of administering and scoring each ADOS-2 module. This provides the first step toward gaining competence in using the ADOS-2. It is also a required prerequisite for individuals who wish to participate in the Advanced/Research workshops.

Required Materials:

You will need to bring one copy of each ADOS-2 protocol (Toddler module and 1-4)

We also recommend having access to an ADOS-2 manual during the training. 

These materials are not provided with the training. If you do not have access to these materials at the time of the training, your registration will need to be deferred to the next available training.

ADOS-2 manuals and protocols are available through Western Psychological Services at 1-800-648-8857 or at www.wpspublish.com.
