Buy In ADOS and ADI-R Training
We are now able to offer the facility for ADOS/ADI-R Trainers to run courses at
external sites for those groups who have more than 6 people needing training.
The Trainer provides consultancy, advice and core materials for setting up the
course, as well as attending to run the course itself. The external site must
provide administration and find suitable volunteer families, pay trainer
accommodation and travel costs, and pay trainer fees. If you are interested in
this facility please contact Dr Fiona Scott on fjs25@cam.ac.uk or
dr.fjscott@virgin.net
Important:
The ADOS and ADI-R courses are intensive courses, and they require work to be
completed PRE-COURSE and POST-COURSE. You will need to allow enough time for
preparation and completion of pre-course work before attending these courses.
Pre-course work requires that you have access to course materials, kits, and
manuals, and that you have access to volunteer families, because you will be
required to practice administering and coding the instruments and to VIDEO
YOURSELF DOING THIS. You will also be required to watch tapes of
administrations that we send to you. This is all in order to familiarise you
with the instruments prior to attending the course. Pre-course work typically
takes around 6 hours to complete, but in addition you will need time to get the
materials or kits and to find volunteer families with which to practice the
instruments, so it is best not to leave it to the last minute.
Meanwhile, for further information on the ADOS or the ADI-R you can access the
University of Michigan's Autism and Communication Disorders Centre excellent
website, which has FAQ's, information, references and more on both instruments.
It can be reached at www.umaccweb.com.
ADOS kits and materials are now available through a UK distributor - visit
Hogrefe UK
