BeginningWithA Reviews

Our trainer had such a thorough understanding of the ADOS and used useful case examples from her own practice to illustrate key points. The only improvements I would suggest - could we have additional pre course reading in addition to the video exercise to re orient us to thinking about ASD and the key constructs e.g. ToM. The videos were very helpful but some felt a bit out dated. Carols videos were excellent. Thank you for thorough training..

Excellent course. It is a bit hard going at times but I think that reflects the nature of the work and the reality of doing the ADI R

I really enjoyed the course - I struggled with the room because of the lighting. Had originally thought it was just me but I think a couple of people were getting headaches - made it hard to stay focussed throughout. The materials were fantastic and I loved the competency based nature of the learning.

Carol is an exceptional tutor. The video with the interview is kind of tiresome . Finally, a bit more training with the scoring is needed.

It was a great experience!!

Excellent course that has broadened and deepened my knowledge and understanding of ASD. I left feeling competent to use the ADI and ADOS within my clinical practice. At times I found the pace slightly slow and struggled with group discussions where we spent long periods of time debating coding (i.e. time could have been better spent). Although these conversations are always helpful, as someone who is very familiar with psychometric testing I found the pace quite slow and repetitive. However I think this was the nature of the group but thought it might be worth considering in future mixed group trainings.

I really enjoyed the training, but I was missing more information about toddlers and first module and overall attention to younger children. And I am still waiting post-course materials. The trainer said that she will share with us her slides and homework.

The course was really good. It would only be good to add some practical assignments, which would include performing ADOS 2 on real people/cases.

Good, engaging and experienced trainer whom supported learning process. Good application of training to real clinical experience and examples.

Overall, the course was very good. My only criticism would be that 3 days did feel a bit too long and 2 days would have been sufficient. I think the course could have been condensed and less practice at the ADI-R was needed. However, I felt the trainer was very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions asked. She had a very pleasant demeanour and certainly is a good teacher!
