ADOS-2 Training Program
Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) is the latest version of the gold standard for observational assessment of autism.
ADOS-2 can be used to evaluate almost anyone suspected of having autism, from non-verbal toddlers to verbally fluent adults.
Commonwealth Autism offers this progressive approach of teaching clinical professionals to diagnose autism using ADOS-2 through online workshops. We recognize that confidence and expertise come from practice and experience, so in addition to a three-day workshop, this program includes one follow-up coaching session.
Because of the hands-on, interactive nature of these workshops, participation is limited.
View our ADOS-2 Trainings schedule to register for the next available workshop.

Our resource directory includes everything from camps and hair salons for autistic children to preschools with behavioral supports.
