This intensive one-day Masterclass has been designed to add to the participant’s discipline-specific knowledge and skills in the diagnostic assessment of adolescents for autism. The training includes which co-occurring conditions to screen for, considerations for differentiating other conditions from autism, use of psychometric assessment, report preparation skills and considerations for disclosure of a diagnosis of autism to parents and teenagers.

Masterclass Day 1 will add to your discipline-specific knowledge to increase your knowledge about diagnostic assessment whether you confer the diagnosis, contribute to the diagnostic process or are simply interested in how to recognise autism.

Note: Different Guidelines exist within different countries concerning who may provide a diagnostic assessment for the purpose of receiving support and funding. Attending this Masterclass will not train you to become a diagnostician or to be eligible to provide a diagnostic assessment.

The course material is presented using a combination of didactic teaching, taped demonstrations from real-life clinical sessions, case studies, and question time. Each day is a stand-alone workshop, and participants may choose to choose either one or both workshops. There are several Handouts included to assist clinicians in their practice and to supplement the teaching process.
