Overall, the training was very well structured which made it easy to follow and helped set clear expectations throughout. Having multiple opportunities to practise coding the ADOS/ADI-R was especially valuable and built my confidence in being able to administer the assessments in the future. The resources provided were excellent, particularly the coding system, which made it possible to compare our scoring with that of an expert in the field. Overall, it was a highly supportive and confidence-building learning experience.

The course is well run and appropriately paced. It manages to cover both assessment tools over the five days. I would highly recommend the combined course, as it builds on the materials each day and has a good sense of continuality.

I thought that the way the course was structured, built up to learn new modules was progressive and relevant. The moodle page was easy to understand, user friendly and the way that feedback and module scoring was very useful and insightful. Overall, I have learned a lot, and have really enjoyed the course. Thank you :)

The training was highly engaging, well-structured, and clinically relevant, providing a strong foundation in the use of ADOS-2 and ADI-R. The facilitators were knowledgeable and supportive, creating a positive learning environment that encouraged participation and reflection. The combination of theory, practical examples, and discussion enhanced understanding and confidence. Overall, it was a valuable and enriching experience that will positively inform clinical practice.

Brilliant training for multidisciplinary professionals on administering the ADOS-2 and ADI-R. Carol Stott is an engaging and effective teacher, and the content was pitched very well, considering the potential challenges of teaching a mixed group of clinicians. The teaching was well organised, with a good balance of interactive Zoom sessions and opportunities to practise in our own time. This training week was highly relevant and enjoyable, and I am looking forward to incorporating these new skills into my clinical practice as a CAMHS Psychiatrist.

I found the course really interesting and thought provoking and took a nuanced approach to ASD which I wasn’t necessarily expecting from training on how to use a tool (something I don’t often use in my own practice). I also had some childcare issues and the course organiser and trainer were extremely generous around this and im very grateful to them for this

Was a wonderful experience. Super informative and helpful, and it was such a pleasure to take this course and learn from Carol!

Carol intorduced the tools in a very understable way that i was able to follow easily considering i was new to the tools. She is knowledgable and was able to answer all the doubts throughout. Garry on the otherhand helped really well to get throught the training app which was very helpful

This was an excellent and detailed course, thank you.

The course is very valuable. It gives a lot of information about the ASD assessment and in particular on ADOS-2 and ADI-R. Undubtely, further supervised administrations are necessary to get confident and reliable. Nevertheless, this course is the best starting point for learning about and using these tools.
