There are many tools and approaches which can be used to gather information for assessment and diagnosis of autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions. The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) is only one tool which can be used. It is not intended to be used in all assessments or as a stand-alone diagnostic measure.
This guidance was developed by NAIT (National Autism Implementation Team) for professionals, following questions raised by those attending ADOS-2 training.
