Events

Infants, children, and adolescents typically don't present to mental health services alone. There are usually others involved, requiring the consideration of a systemic approach to assessment, diagnosis, formulation & treatment planning. These "others" may range from immediate carers to the schools the young person attends, or to wider service providers such as GPs, Child Protection, Family Services, Paediatricians, or a variety of private services.

A full-day in-person training designed for practitioners across the mental health and wellbeing workforce.

The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule Second Edition (ADOS-2) is a semi-structured, standardised assessment of communication, social interaction, and play. It provides a series of standardised contexts in which the individual's social communication, and repetitive, stereotyped behaviours can be observed. It has been designed to assist in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and is a complementary instrument to the Autism Diagnostic Interview Revised (ADI-R). Standardised toys and activities are used to present opportunities for social and communicative interaction with the examiner. A diagnostic algorithm consistent with DSM-V and ICD-10 clinical diagnoses is generated.
