At CM Psychology & Developmental Care, we are committed to advancing accurate, evidence-based understanding of autism and neurodevelopmental disorders. Dr. Martin is a certified trainer in the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2), and the Autism Diagnostic Interview–Revised (ADI-R), providing specialized training to clinicians, educators, researchers, and medical professionals worldwide.
Our trainings are designed to strengthen diagnostic accuracy, enhance inter-rater reliability, and promote consistency across clinical and research settings. In a landscape where autism identification is increasingly influenced by public discourse and variable practice standards, maintaining fidelity to gold-standard instruments is essential. We emphasize rigorous administration, careful scoring, and thoughtful clinical integration within a comprehensive developmental framework.
This foundational training provides comprehensive instruction in the administration and scoring of ADOS-2 Modules 1 through 4.
Through structured lectures, detailed video demonstrations, and guided scoring exercises, participants develop a clear understanding of standardized administration procedures and coding conventions. The training is designed for clinicians and researchers involved in autism assessment and serves as the prerequisite for advanced research reliability training.
Participants leave with a strengthened ability to observe, code, and interpret autism-related behaviors within a developmentally informed and scientifically grounded assessment model.
This focused training addresses administration and scoring of the ADOS-2 Toddler Module for children aged 12 to 30 months.
The workshop includes video demonstrations, scoring discussions, and in-depth exploration of early developmental presentations. We emphasize differentiation between typical developmental variability and early indicators of autism, and guide participants in integrating observational data with caregiver interview and broader developmental history.
Completion of the ADOS-2 Modules 1–4 Introductory Clinical Training is required prior to attending this course.
Designed for small groups seeking to establish research-level reliability, this intensive training provides in-depth instruction, structured coding practice, and individualized feedback to ensure fidelity in administration and scoring.
Participants engage in calibration exercises, review recorded administrations, and receive detailed guidance aimed at achieving inter-rater reliability standards required for academic and grant-funded research. Post-training consultation and video review are available to support continued fidelity and quality assurance.
Completion of the ADOS-2 Introductory Clinical Training is required.
This training is particularly suited for academic medical centers, research teams, and industry partners conducting phenotyping or intervention studies in autism.
Our two-day ADI-R training offers comprehensive instruction in administering, scoring, and interpreting the Autism Diagnostic Interview–Revised.
Through lecture, video examples, and coding exercises, participants gain proficiency in conducting standardized caregiver interviews and translating complex developmental histories into reliable diagnostic data. We emphasize integration of ADI-R findings with observational measures, cognitive and language testing, and adaptive functioning data to support precise differential diagnosis.
This training is appropriate for clinicians and researchers conducting autism assessments in both clinical and research settings.
Across all trainings, our emphasis is on fidelity, reliability, and scientific integrity. We equip professionals not only with the technical skills required to administer these instruments correctly, but also with the conceptual clarity needed to integrate findings within a comprehensive, developmentally informed, evidence-based assessment model.
As the field evolves, and as public conversations about autism grow increasingly complex, we remain committed to disseminating rigorous methodology and protecting the integrity of gold-standard assessment practices. Our goal is to strengthen diagnostic precision across systems and ensure that clinical and research applications remain firmly grounded in science.
