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.
