| Description | | Don’t have someone trained to administer the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2)?
This workshop will examine/review overall assessments of ASD, as well as assessments in the three core areas affected by ASD - communication, social and behavior/executive functioning. This includes assessment that may be used to determine eligibility for birth to three year olds for Part C services with a developmental delay determination and 3 to 21 year olds for special education services with the Autism disability category.
Day 1: The focus will be on training tools and strategies for evaluating students suspected of having an educational disability on the autism spectrum.
Day 2: The focus will be giving educational teams an opportunity to engage in a case study to apply what has been learned during Day 1. Participants will benefit from attending with a focus student in mind to complete the case study.
This is an advanced workshop and will be most meaningful to those who have experience understanding the full spectrum of autism. It is strongly suggested that those who attend have a solid, foundational level, understanding of Autism. If team members want to attend this workshop but do not have this level of knowledge, we suggest completion of the Autism Certification Center’s Many Faces of Autism 90 minute course: https://autismcertificationcenter.org/preview/course/1/module/29.
