Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule

The Psychology Department of the Special Hospital for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Neurology has completed training in the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule 2 (ADOS 2). ADOS 2 is the most complex and comprehensive test for diagnosing disorders on the autism spectrum across all ages, starting from 12–months until adulthood. This tool is the first clinical diagnostic choice when developmental disorders on the autistic spectrum are suspected. A psychologist at the Special Hospital for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Neurology has been certified by the MIND Institute – Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, UC Davis Health, for the implementation of ADOS 2, as well as ADOS 2 — Toddler Module.
