Confidently use the Gold-Standard tool for Autism assessment
Join Clinical Psychologist Nimra Bilgrami for this in-person training in the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule – Second Edition (ADOS-2) — the most widely used and trusted observational tool for identifying Autism Spectrum Disorder across all ages.
Over three days, you’ll complete the official WPS DVD and manual-based training in a supportive, small-group format. The training includes guided discussion, real case examples, and the opportunity to practise administering the ADOS-2 with children, helping you apply what you’ve learned with confidence.
What is the ADOS-2?
The ADOS-2 is a semi-structured, standardised assessment that captures social communication, interaction, play, and restricted or repetitive behaviours. It is considered the gold standard for observational assessment in autism diagnosis and is widely used in clinical, educational, and research settings.

Please note: This workshop does not include research reliability certification, but meets the requirements for clinical use of the ADOS-2.

- Psychologists and provisional psychologists
- Paediatricians and psychiatrists
