Description:
The ADOS-2 focuses on the application of assessment methods as it is a standardized and semi-structured assessment of communication, social interaction, play, or the imaginative use of materials for people suspected of having an autism spectrum disorder.
The course consists of a workshop that provide trainees with an introduction to the ADOS-2, including its development and role within the diagnostic process. Trainees will be exposed to its modular framework, and will receive instruction on how to administer each task on each module, and considerations for scoring.
