Anyone want an ADOS test?

[grumpyoldeeyore]

Had this sent to me from someone on an RDI forum - they are looking for children as volunteers to be used for people training to use ADOS test. I don't know if you need a diagnosis already though - presumably they wouldn't want a volunteer breaking the news:

Would you be willing for your child/young person to participate in training for practitioners who are learning how to use the ADOS test to diagnose autism?

The child/young person would take part in a practice ADOS so that the trainee professionals can get live feedback on their testing skills.

Families are reimbursed all travel costs and given a gift certificate (£20) and some feedback.

The trainer is especially interested in children under the age of 8 who do not have very much language (single word or phrase speech) for the morning of Wed 10 Feb or adolescents or adults who are verbally fluent (e.g. HFA or Asperger's syndrome) for the early afternoon of Thurs 11 Feb. Training will take place at Tavistoc Clinic, London. The latter is especially important because a lot of undiagnosed adults are being overlooked at the moment and can't get services at all.

If you are interested, please e mail me at info @ brightfuturesautism .com (no spaces)

Thanks

Does adolescents cover someone of almost 12yo who has had an 'informal dx, but not a formal dx (yet)?

I don't know the details thats the only info I have

is there anyway of finding out more ? were only 15 min train ride from London

I'm only an hour from London by train.

I am interested in this, and could easily get to the tavistock institute, and would like more details, please.

What about children who already have a dx? Would that work?

I have written to them. Thanks so much for passing this on

You need to contact the bright futures email I was just pasting it from another forum i am not involved with it!

I've already had a reply from Zoe and the contact details of the psychologist running it, might even get to meet some of you on the day!
