Autism Screening Tools
ADOS-2 Diagnostic Assessments
The Gold Standard
The ADOS-2 is the gold standard diagnostic tool to help assess Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The ADOS-2 assesses indicators of autism including social interaction, communication, and restrictive and repetitive behaviors.
Our Qualifications
These assessments are supervised by Ph.D. level psychologists and conducted by highly trained senior clinicians with advanced degrees in special education, psychology or related fields, and have gone through rigorous training by certified ADOS-2 trainers.
How it Works
At the request of your child’s doctor, Mosaic can provide the ADOS-2 at one of our conveniently located clinics. Each ADOS-2 assessment starts with a face-to-face visit with one of our licensed psychologists. The assessment itself then takes approximately 45-60 minutes to complete. Following the assessment, the clinician completes a scoring process and the results are sent to your child’s pediatrician, neurologist or developmental pediatrician for use in diagnostic determination.
Importantly, the ADOS-2 alone does not constitute an autism diagnosis and must be reviewed by your child’s doctor as part of a broader diagnostic process, which may also include a review of a child’s developmental history and assessment of their communication and adaptive skills, social/emotional and behavioral functioning, and cognitive abilities.
