Please see the answer below to a frequently asked question:
ADOS Assessments (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) are a standardised tool used by clinicians to assess and diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The assessment is structured to observe and evaluate social communication, interaction, and behaviour in individuals suspected of having autism.
Key Aspects of ADOS Assessments:
* Structured & Semi-Structured Activities: The assessment consists of a series of tasks designed to elicit social, communicative, and behavioural responses.
* Multiple Modules: It is designed for individuals across different age groups and language abilities, from non-verbal children to verbally fluent adults.
* Clinical Observation: The test is administered by a trained professional, such as a Speech and Language Therapist (SaLT), Psychologist, or Paediatrician, who observes and scores behaviours related to autism.
* Diagnostic Aid: ADOS is often used alongside other diagnostic tools, medical history, and parental interviews to confirm an ASD diagnosis.
Why is ADOS Important?
* Helps identify autism in children and adults in a reliable and structured way.
* Supports early diagnosis and intervention, which can improve outcomes.
* Used widely in NHS and private healthcare settings for autism assessments.
In the context of Frontline Insourcing, ADOS assessments are being conducted to help reduce NHS backlog, ensuring that children receive timely evaluations and the support they need.
What We Offer:
* Competitive remuneration for each 4-hour session.
* Flexible remote working arrangements.
* Opportunity to contribute to a high-impact NHS service.
* A supportive and professional working environment/team.
Who We're Looking For:
* HCPC-registered Speech and Language Therapists with relevant ADOS experience.
