From October 11th to 13th (2024), I attended the ADOS-2 Clinical Accreditation Course, led by Amalia Hervás and organized by IGAIN.

This  online course was crucial for understanding the multimodal component of diagnostic evaluation in autism, as it provided thorough training on the ADOS-2 tool. ADOS-2 not only addressed the linguistic aspects of communication but also incorporated non-verbal cues and interactions, offering a comprehensive approach to assessment.

Gaining accreditation in this assessment protocol was essential for accurately analyzing both verbal and non-verbal behaviors, which are key in the diagnostic process for autism. Additionally, this training was highly valuable for the design of a new dynamic assessment of language tool that takes into account the specific characteristics of the autistic population, ensuring a more tailored and effective evaluation approach.
