The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) improves an instrument already viewed as "the gold standard" for observational assessment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). WPS offers 2-day workshops that teach you how to use the ADOS-2 to assess and diagnose autism. Experienced workshop leaders describe the ADOS-2 and demonstrate administration and scoring, operationalizing diagnostic criteria for ASD. You'll have the opportunity to practice scoring while observing an ADOS-2 administration. The workshop focuses primarily on Modules 1 through 4. Attendees are given materials to study later in order to complete training in the Toddler Module. This workshop is for professionals unfamiliar with the ADOS-2. Clinicians already trained in the ADOS can update their skills by reviewing the ADOS-2 Manual and completing the ADOS-2 Training Video Program Upgrade (LMS-606).

 

The ADOS-2 Toddler Module is a diagnostic tool that can be used as part of a comprehensive assessment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children 12 to 30 months of age who are not yet speaking in phrases. This workshop uses lecture format and video demonstrations to introduce the basic principles of administration and scoring, providing an essential step toward competence in using the ADOS-2 Toddler Module for clinical and/or research purposes. Learners will complete the course with a fundamental understanding of the Toddler Module and experience in scoring with the support of a certified trainer.

 

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.

WPS is pleased to offer a variety of educational resources and training opportunities to enhance your expertise in assessing for dyslexia and planning reading interventions with the TOD™.

ADOS-2 Research Workshop

The ADOS-2 clinical workshop offered by WPS is a prerequisite to the more thorough research training offered by the ADOS-2 authors and their colleagues. Research training includes exercises to establish item coding accuracy to a specific criterion and is designed to help individuals achieve the high cross-site interrater reliability that is required in published research. WPS is not involved in research training workshops.
