The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Generic (ADOS-G) is a direct observational assessment used to assist in the diagnosis of autism. This assessment tool was developed for use in autism research but is now widely used in the clinical setting. Training in the ADOS-G is now available for use in the clinical setting through the Department of Psychiatry, Trinity College Dublin. The training is aimed at professionals with a mental health background who have some familiarity with the tool and is focused on teaching correct administration of the instrument.
