The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule™ (ADOS™-2) is a standardized assessment of communication, social interaction, play, and restricted and repetitive behaviors in children. During an ADOS™-2 assessment, a specialist interacts directly with the child in social and play activities.
What is involved in an ADOS assessment?
The ADOS is a standardised assessment that allows us to look for social and communication behaviours that are typical of autism spectrum disorders. It consists of age-appropriate games, books, imaginary play or activities and conversation with one clinician.
How long does an ADOS assessment take?
The ADOS is a test that helps a trained evaluator make objective ratings of the child's behavior and determine whether the behavior pattern suggests a diagnosis of ASD. * It takes between 30 and 60 minutes to conduct the ADOS test. The ADOS is a sequence of play and social activities that are done with the child.
