What is the ADOS-2 for Autism testing?

The ADOS-2 is a standardized, semi-structured assessment tool done in person, interactively with your child to evaluate communication, social interaction, play, and restricted and repetitive behaviors that are characteristic of autism.

Unlike questionnaires or rating scales, which rely on parent reports, the ADOS-2 is a direct observation assessment. This allows us as clinicians to interact one-on-one with your child in real time, using structured activities and prompts to observe behaviors associated with autism, making it a versatile and reliable tool for families seeking clear answers.

ADOS-2 is a widely used and standardized assessment tool used to diagnose autism spectrum disorder. It is appropriate for children as young as 12 months through adulthood. Early Autism Spectrum evaluation and diagnosis leads to better outcomes with access to services and therapies.

The ADOS-2 is a direct observation assessment that allows one-on-one interaction between the clinician and the child, following a series of structured activities, guided play, or conversation, depending on age and the child’s language level. If you are seeking a clear, evidence-based evaluation for autism, this is the most definitive test that assess signs and symptoms in your child that are characteristic of autism.
