Course Schedule
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), developed by Dr. Catherine Lord and colleagues, is used globally as the gold standard instrument for the observation, assessment, and diagnosis of ASD across the lifespan. The ADOS is a semi-structured
assessment of communication, social interaction, and play (or imaginative use of materials) for individuals suspected of having autism or other pervasive developmental disorders.
The ADOS-2 enhances the original measure with revised algorithms for greater sensitivity and specificity, updated protocols with clearer guidelines for administration and coding ease, and a new ‘Toddler Module’ for assessments with children between 12 and 30
months who are not using simple phrases. Clinicians involved in diagnosis use the ADOS-2 to assist with accurate assessment and diagnosis of ASD across age, developmental level and language skills.
With updated protocols, revised algorithms, a new Comparison Score, and a Toddler Module, the ADOS-2 provides a highly accurate picture of current symptoms, unaffected by language. It can be used to evaluate almost anyone suspected of having ASD, from one-year-olds with no speech, to adults who are verbally fluent.
Each ADOS-2 module has its own Protocol Booklet, which structures the administration and guides you through coding and scoring. As you administer activities, you observe the examinee and take notes. Immediately afterward, you code the behaviors observed.
Then you use the Algorithm Form for scoring. In Modules 1 to 4, algorithm scores are compared with cut off scores to yield one of three classifications: Autism, Autism Spectrum, and Non-spectrum. In the Toddler Module, algorithms yield ‘ranges of concern’ rather than classification scores.
