This course was excellent and beneficial to me to practice in my unit. However I felt that it would be more beneficial if we conduct more practical's in the course. many thanks for Dr. Carol for facilitating such wonderful course.

It will be more realistic if an actual patient will be assessed on and after each module.

A crib sheet ( which I intend to make now) to help with quickly remembering which observations were needed 2 or 3 times while getting used to the content of the different modules, would be helpful . A bit more focus on what the meanjngs of the expected observations to be made would be helpful , as some terms needed clarification but we had to look for tjr behaviurs/ communicationd in the films before being sure what they fully meant . Thank you

I would have been very interested in more opportunity to discuss or have a presentation on the high functioning more subtle ASD presentations which would be more typical in CAMHS setting.

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.

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.
