Excellent! Carol is extremely warm, knowledgeable and articulate in how she explains both diagnostic tools.

Extremely well explained and worked through coding exercises to check our interpretation and plenty of feedback.

A comprehensive introduction to the ADOS-2 and ADI assessment tools. Some initial taught sections, followed by learning through completion of clinical case videos and opportunities for debate and discussion. Additional resources provided to support learning. There is flexibility with regard to when the out of session case study work is completed, however, it is important to ensure that participants give themselves adequate time to watch and code case examples. Carol Stott was highly knowledgeable, consistently encouraging and open to debate and critique of the process.

I found the course really useful and it helped me to understand the assessment and scoring much better. I particularly found the practical parts helpful, as they made it easier to understand what I should be looking for and how to score what I observe. I feel more confident using in practice following the course.

I have loved this course - the knowledge of the trainers and the participants led to a breadth of learning that was great. I would highly recommend it.

Excellent course - very well structured. Carol was an extremely knowledgeable trainer. I found the coding feedback particularly helpful for developing my skills.

I really enjoyed the course. Carol is an amazing professional who made sure her teaching was adapted to the wide range of professionals in the room. I now have a much better understanding of ASD itself, as well as how to assess and code it. I particularly enjoyed the way the training was structured and paced. The balance between the teaching sessions, independent homework tasks, and the follow-up discussions worked really well. It gave us the opportunity to apply what we had learned, then come back to review, discuss, and clarify any uncertainties. Thank you, Carol and Gary. The way you delivered the training was outstanding, and your knowledge, support, and enthusiasm made the learning experience both enjoyable and highly valuable.

Excellent course. I was sceptical how this course could be effectively delivered online and found this to be one of the best courses I have ever done, face to face or online.

Fantastic training delivered by a clearly knowledgeable and experienced clinician.

This was easily one of the best designed courses I have attended. It is practical, thorough, and well-paced. I could not recommend it more.
