Clinical Workshop
*See prerequisite details below.
- Refine understanding of ADOS-2 standardized administration and scoring procedures;
- Describe how the ADOS-2 can be appropriately incorporated into diagnostic assessment of autism spectrum disorders;
- Demonstrate understanding of responsible interpretation and reporting of ADOS-2 results;
- Understand the validity and reliability of the measure and limitations for responsible use; and
- Understand how to adapt administration procedures for certain populations/special circumstances and identify situations in which ADOS-2 results cannot be considered valid.
Prior completion of ADOS-2 Clinical Workshop is required. To maximize the value of this training experience, it is recommended that learners have completed the ADOS-2 Clinical Workshop within the past five years.
This training is designed for individuals who have already completed the ADOS-2 Introductory Training (Modules 1–4), who are interested in further scoring practice and review. During this 1-day training, two full-length ADOS-2 video administrations will be shown. Participants will be given the opportunity to score and discuss results with the support of a certified trainer.
The ADOS-2 Refresher Course builds on the training offered in the ADOS-2 Clinical Workshop, the completion of which is required prior to enrollment. This workshop is designed for both clinicians and researchers. Physicians, psychologists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists will be better prepared to make educational placement decisions and evaluate programs after completing this workshop.
Each WPS ADOS-2 Clinical Workshop Refresher Course is taught by ADOS-2 Independent Trainers. These trainers have completed the initial clinical and research trainings, established reliability on the instrument, and completed additional training with the authors and/or their colleagues. Course evaluations by workshop participants routinely indicate that WPS ADOS-2 instructors receive high praise for their content knowledge and presentation skills.
Please contact WPS for details about the specific instructor who will be teaching the course in which you plan to enroll. In the case of unforeseen circumstances, WPS reserves the right to change instructors without prior notice.
