ADOS-2 Autism Diagnostic Testing
The ADOS-2 is the gold standard in autism diagnostic assessment. Our trained psychologists administer this validated tool for accurate autism spectrum evaluations.
About ADOS-2 Testing
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) is the most widely used and validated instrument for assessing autism spectrum disorder. At CPS, our psychologists are trained in ADOS-2 administration and scoring.
The ADOS-2 uses structured and semi-structured activities to observe communication, social interaction, play, and restricted/repetitive behaviors. Different modules are available for toddlers through adults, including a module specifically for verbally fluent adolescents and adults.
An ADOS-2 evaluation at CPS is part of a comprehensive autism assessment that includes developmental history, cognitive testing, adaptive behavior measures, and clinical observation.
