This session is designed to support Family Carer Lived Experience Workers (FCLEWs) to explore the complexities of documenting Family Carer contacts within an individualistic clinical system, unpack relevant privacy legislation, and build practical skills for writing safe, discipline-specific notes.
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule - Second Edition (ADOS-2) is a semi-structured, standardised assessment of communication, social interaction, and play.
