Information:

The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule - Second Edition (ADOS-2) is a semi-structured, standardized assessment of social-communication, play/imaginative use of materials, and restricted and repetitive behaviors for individuals who have been referred because of possible autism spectrum disorder (ASD).  The ADOS-2 contains 5 assessment modules.  Each module offers standard activities designed to elicit behaviors that are directly relevant to the diagnosis of ASD at different developmental levels and chronological ages from 12 months to adult. It is essential that examiners using the ADOS-2 have a full understanding of all of the ADOS-2 module protocols and materials.  This 3-day course will support examiners who use the ADOS-2 gain a basic understanding of how to administer and score the ADOS-2, be aware of issues in the clinical application of ADOS-2 results, and use the ADOS-2 for operationalizing diagnostic criteria for ASD. In addition, we will review DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for ASD and best practices in assessment.

Course Objectives:

1) To develop familiarity with the ADOS 2: Modules 1 - 4 and the Toddler Module

2) To observe administration of a semi-structured standard observation and learn administration techniques and strategies.

3) To learn ADOS-2 coding guidelines and practice coding a live and/or taped administrations.

4) To complete and understand ADOS 2 diagnostic algorithms.

5) Discuss how ADOS-2 results are interpreted and reported.
