About the Trainer

Somer Bishop, PhD

Somer Bishop, PhD

Somer Bishop, PhD is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the Weill Institute for Neurosciences at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She is a clinical psychologist with expertise in the assessment and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders.

Dr. Bishop is a co-author of the ADOS-2. Her research focuses on ASD symptom manifestations across the lifespan, differential diagnosis, and the effects of age, sex, IQ, and language on symptom measurement.

About the Workshop

This three-day online workshop 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 receive one electronic set of WPS ADOS-2 printable protocol booklets included in the registration fee.

The ADOS-2 Manual is required and is not included. Use of the ADOS-2 presumes prior training and experience in direct assessment and familiarity with ASD-related symptoms and behaviors.
