Before you register

A live introductory clinical training in ADOS-2 administration and scoring, through lectures, video examples and coding practice. Days 1 and 2 cover Modules 1–4; Day 3 covers the Toddler Module. If you do not assess toddlers, you can register for Modules 1–4 only.

Is this training suitable for me?

The training is intended for professionals and graduate students in related fields. Use of the ADOS-2 presumes prior training and experience in direct assessment and familiarity with autism-related symptoms and behaviors. No prerequisite course is required. Ask us about your background before registering.

Can I register for Modules 1–4 only?

Yes. The full program, USD $770, includes three days of live online training, February 10, 11 and 12: Modules 1–4 and the Toddler Module, with 20 CE credits.

If you do not assess young children, you can register for Modules 1–4 only, USD $590: the first two days, February 10 and 11, with 14 CE credits. Register for Modules 1–4.

The Toddler Module (Day 3) is designed for children 12–30 months who do not yet use flexible phrase speech.

Both options include one electronic set of WPS ADOS-2 printable protocol booklets. Please have access to an ADOS-2 Manual to refer to during the training; the manual is not included in the fee. If you have questions about the materials, contact our team before registering.

Do you offer group rates or invoices for organizations?

Yes. When three or more participants from the same organization register for the full program, the fee is USD $690 per participant. For larger teams, ask us for a quote.

Organizations can pay by card or purchasing card with an invoice, or by bank transfer (ACH). We can also reserve places against a purchase order received before registration closes. Contact us with the number of participants and we will send the details.

What attendance is required for the certificate and CE credits?

100% attendance of the days included in your registration is required to receive the certificate of completion and CE credits: 20 CE credits for the full program, 14 for Modules 1–4. Participants from professions other than psychology should verify acceptance of APA-sponsored CE credits with their licensing board.

What happens after I register?

Pay securely through Stripe using an email address you check regularly. Our team will contact you at that address to confirm your enrollment, arrange any participant documentation and send pre-course information. You do not need to email us separately to report your payment.

What if I need to cancel or change dates?

A full refund is available with notice at least two weeks before the course begins. Different conditions apply after that deadline. Read the complete cancellation, refund and transfer policy.

About the Trainer

Jennifer Olson, PsyD

Jennifer Endre Olson, PsyD, is a pediatric neuropsychologist and a certified independent trainer on the ADOS-2 and the ADI-R. She completed her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago with Catherine Lord, PhD, first author of the ADOS-2.

Dr. Olson has spent much of the past two decades teaching clinicians to assess and diagnose autism, and has led clinical and research trainings in more than two dozen countries.

About the Training

This three-day ADOS-2 introductory clinical workshop, live online, provides clinicians with a comprehensive introduction to the administration and scoring of the ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition).

Using lecture, video case examples, coding practice, and discussion, participants gain hands-on familiarity with all ADOS-2 modules and the foundation needed to pursue independent practice.

Participants may register for the full program or for Modules 1–4 only (Days 1 and 2).

Participants receive one electronic set of WPS ADOS-2 printable protocol booklets included in the registration fee.

Please have access to an ADOS-2 Manual to refer to during the training; the manual is not included in the fee. Our team can help with questions about the materials. Use of the ADOS-2 presumes prior training and experience in direct assessment and familiarity with ASD-related symptoms and behaviors.
