IntroductionThe ADOS® is a structured and standardized assessment to evaluate a child’s communication, social interaction, and play. Providing specific contexts allows observing the child’s social behaviours, communication skills, and repetitive behaviours. The purpose of the ADOS® is to aid in diagnosing autism spectrum disorder and is often used alongside other clinical interviews, such as the ADI-R. Standardized toys, materials, and activities are used during the assessment to create opportunities for social and communicative interaction with the examiner.
Target audience: Clinical Psychologists, Educational Psychologists, Counselling Psychologists, Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Psychiatrists, Paediatricians
