Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2

DAY 1-THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 2027

The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2 (ADOS-2) workshop is a 2-day clinical training course on using the ADOS-2 to identify people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Thursday, January 14, 2027, is day 1. The ADOS is a structured interaction and interview session with the person suspected of having an ASD designed to assess social and communication behaviors.  It can be used with young children to adults and with people who are nonverbal to those who are verbal.  This workshop will provide information on using all 4 ADOS Modules as part of an autism spectrum evaluation.  For researchers, this workshop is a prerequisite to more intensive training offered by the ADOS authors, designed to achieve the high reliability levels needed in research.  However, use of the ADOS for clinical and identification purposes can be very helpful for clinicians.  Participants must bring an ADOS manual to the workshop of their own or purchase one with registration.
