Who provides the training?

Psychologist Deborah Sweeney has been training clinicians in the use of the ADI-R and ADOS-2 for many years throughout Asia and the Pacific region. Deborah was previously working in autism research at Monash University and now works in private practice providing consultation for complex presentations of autism spectrum disorder.

What does the training include?

This half-day workshop consists of coding two new videos of module 1 or 2 and module 3 or 4 administration of the ADOS-2. These are recent videos of Deborah administering the ADOS-2. This is an opportunity to check your reliability and discuss coding questions. Participants will be provided with a pre-course video to code before attending the workshop. The workshop commences with the discussion of codes of the pre course video and a further video is watched and coded during the workshop.
