Autism - Advanced Assessment: ADI - R - Day 2

What is the ADI-R?

The ADI-R is a semi-structured diagnostic interview to assess behaviours related to autism. The ADI-R typically takes between 90 minutes to 3 hours. The course is designed to teach clinicians how to administer and code ADI-R with parents/carers of children and young people with suspected autism.

What does the training include?

During this two and a half day training, participants will:

• Learn about the underlying principles of the ADI-R
• Practice administration of the ADI-R in role play
• Watch a variety of video administrations of the ADI-R and practice coding
• Participate in the administration of the ADI-R with a volunteer parent/carer of child or young person with autism.
• Learn how to code the caregiver’s responses during the interview.

Trainees will have the opportunity to conduct part of an ADI-R interview and receive feedback and coding advice. 

Due to the intensive nature of this training the group is limited to 10 participants.

Pre-reading materials and video links will be provided and must be completed before commencement of the workshop.

Who is the training for?

Psychologists, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, paediatricians, and psychiatrists.
