Join us in completing supported self-training in the assessment of ASD using the Autism Diagnostic Observation System version 2 (ADOS-2) DVD training package (WPS) with Clinical Psychologist Nimra Bilgrami from the The Hummingbird Centre.
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule – Second Edition (ADOS-2) is a semi-structured, standardised assessment of communication, social interaction, play, and restricted and repetitive behaviours. By observing and coding these behaviours, clinicians can obtain information that informs diagnosis, intervention, treatment planning, and educational placement.
The ADOS-2 includes five modules, each requiring between 40-60 minutes to administer. The individual being evaluated is given only one module, selected on the basis of his or her expressive language level and chronological age:
Toddler Module-for children between 12 and 30 months of age who do not consistently use phrase speech
Module 1-for children 31 months and older who do not consistently use phrase speech
Module 2-for children of any age who use phrase speech but are not verbally fluent
Module 3-for verbally fluent children and young adolescents
Module 4-for verbally fluent older adolescents and adults
The ADOS-2 requires formal and specific training. This workshop is the DVD and guide-book training which covers all 5 modules, featuring case examples for all modules.
