"Participating in the ADOS training was a truly eye-opening experience. It elevated not only my technical competence in autism assessment but also my sensitivity to the nuanced ways individuals on the spectrum communicate and connect. The training delivered a perfect balance of theory, observation, and hands-on practice, all grounded in clinical precision. I walked away with a sharper diagnostic lens, a deeper appreciation for neurodiversity, and the confidence to contribute meaningfully to interdisciplinary assessment teams. I wholeheartedly recommend it to professionals who want to elevate both their skillset and their impact."
