Our leading educational and developmental psychologists are experienced in the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) is an observational assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorders. It is a semi-structured, standardised assessment of communication, social interaction, play, and restricted and repetitive behaviours. It presents various activities that elicit behaviours directly related to a diagnosis of ASD. By observing and coding these behaviours, psychologists can obtain information that informs diagnosis, treatment planning and educational placement. Clinicians must be trained ADOS-2 administrators as this is the most reliable diagnostic tool currently recognised by international Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experts.
The ADOS-2 consists of four modules and a toddler module. Each module contains a series of activities designed for use with children or adults at a particular developmental and language level, ranging from no expressive or receptive language to verbally fluent adults. Only one module is administered to an individual at any given point in time.
Our clinic provides psychological assessments and personalised treatment plans to support your child's needs. Our experienced psychologists gather detailed information to explore diagnoses and deliver effective interventions.
Each assessment results in a comprehensive report with background information, medical history, observations, and practical recommendations.
Our treatment plans address specific challenges and promote overall well-being.
