I recently completed the online ADI-R and ADOS training delivered by Autism Services Group and found it to be an extremely informative and well-structured course. The content was broken down into manageable, easy-to-follow steps, making what can initially feel like a complex area of practice much more accessible and understandable.The trainers presented the material in a friendly, engaging, and supportive way, combining theory with practical examples that helped bring the assessment process to life. Each module built on the previous one, allowing me to develop my knowledge and confidence gradually without feeling overwhelmed.One of the most valuable aspects of the training was hearing the lived experiences of neurodivergent individuals and the perspectives of parents of neurodivergent children and young people. These personal accounts added depth and context to the learning, helping me gain a greater understanding of the real-world impact of neurodevelopmental differences and the importance of conducting assessments with empathy, curiosity, and a person-centred approach.As an ADHD Specialist Nurse, I was particularly looking for training that would support my transition into autism assessment and understanding. This course exceeded my expectations. It provided a clear framework for both the ADI-R and ADOS assessments while also helping me develop a deeper appreciation of the autism diagnostic pathway and the importance of comprehensive, holistic assessment.By the end of the training, I felt significantly more confident in my understanding of autism assessments and equipped with the knowledge needed to take the next steps in my professional development. The course has strengthened my confidence to expand my clinical practice and continue my journey into the field of autism, building on my existing ADHD expertise and supporting my career progression within neurodevelopmental services.I would highly recommend Autism Services Group’s ADI-R and ADOS training to any healthcare professional looking to develop their skills in autism assessment. It offers an excellent balance of knowledge, practical application, lived experience, and supportive learning that leaves you feeling motivated, inspired, and prepared for the next stage of your career.
