The ADOS and ADI-R training was, without a doubt, the most engaging training I have ever attended. Carol knows her subject inside out, and her depth of knowledge shone through in every session. What stood out just as much was her reflective approach. It was clear how thoughtfully she has examined her own practice, and that brought real depth and insight to the teaching. I particularly appreciated how accommodating the format was. There was no pressure to make small talk or take part in awkward group tasks, which made it so much easier to feel comfortable and focus on learning. The discussion board still offered a space for anyone who wanted to connect, ask questions or share reflections. That thoughtful balance made such a difference. The resources are invaluable, and having access to them for six months is a huge benefit as I put the learning into practice. I came away feeling inspired and thoroughly impressed. I honestly couldn’t recommend this training more highly!

I have really enjoyed the training, Carol is amazing and is so obviously well experienced. It was nice to also have Garry as our point of contact and informant regarding assignments/moodle. Very well organised course. It is a lot of information and I do feel my brain is bursting with it, but it was to be expected. I would definitely recommend and I have already done so!!

Having not administered these assessments in my practice previously, I feel prepared and confident to do so following this training. Carol explained concepts so clearly and was patient in responding to all of our questions and sometimes even pre-empting things that we would need to know more about. It has made me excited about administering these assessments and being able to better understand and support people with suspected or diagnosed autism.

This was a very comprehensive course and gave lots of information about the principles of administering and coding the ADI and ADOS. There was a good balance between live sessions and off-line tasks so I feel that there was a lot of opportunity to benefit from Carol's expertise and the knowledge of the group, as well as time to try out the skills we were discussing. It was useful to be able to watch ADOS and ADI being completed, and we were able to experience all of the different versions of the ADOS. I am grateful that the resources will be available after the course so that I can continue to make use of them for the next six months. Thank you for an interesting and informative week!

Insightful, engaging and a wealth of information. After the week-long course I feel I have the relevant tools I need to start exploring the assessment and diagnostic field further.

As someone who had absolutely no experience of the ADOS-2 or ADI-R, I found this course really straightforward and informative! Carol is so knowledgable and very skilled in explaining information in a clear way. I would definitely recommend this course to others, thanks so much!

Very good organisation of everything and attention to detail! Impressed with the diligence and heart that has gone into making this course so interesting and enjoyable. This course was recommended by someone who I supervise and I must say it is the best training I have done in a long time. Managing the continuity and structure for five full days is no mean feat and Carol did this beautifully!
