The Arkansas Behavior Support Specialists are starting regional Communities of Practice for the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule. These communities are open to anyone in the schools who may wish to practice scoring or administration of the ADOS-2 or anyone who might want some additional coaching or support with the ADOS-2. These communities are only for educators who have previously attended an ADOS-2 training.
The Community of Practice meetings will allow practitioners to practice administration of tasks with each other, practice scoring assessments from videos, and will allow for conversation regarding administration of the assessment. Topics covered will vary monthly.
