6 “Things” To Do Today & Every Day
It is not often as parents of children with special needs that we have any down time, it is actually more common to find ourselves wondering at 11 pm, where the day went and to see our list is still a mile long. I have started writing down everything I have to do and crossing out as I go, no matter how small the “thing” is, I write it down. It really helps me visualize how many things I do get done each day.

CA & Norm Geller Training Workshop on Diagnosing Autism
Please join CA and Norm Geller, Ph.D, for this training workshop for ADOS-2.
Six. That’s the average age of diagnosis for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the Commonwealth of Virginia. And that’s a shame. Because a reliable diagnosis can be made as early as age two. And when it comes to diagnosing ASD, the sooner, the better.
We’re thrilled to have Norm Geller, Ph.D., leading this new, progressive approach to teaching clinical professionals to diagnose autism using the second edition of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2 (ADOS-2). We recognize that confidence and expertise come from practice and experience, so in addition to a three-day workshop, this program includes three follow-up coaching sessions, live webinars and peer support.
“After all,” explains Dr. Geller, “if we can understand the signs and symptoms of autism spectrum disorders, we can dramatically improve outcomes and quality of life.” And because referrals can cause lengthy delays, being able to make the diagnosis yourself saves precious time. So, we’ve designed this program for professionals on the front line— psychologists, licensed professional counselors, clinical social workers and speech pathologists— empowering you to intervene at the first suspicion of a developmental delay.
ADOS-2 is the latest version of what was already considered the gold standard for observational assessment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It can be used to evaluate almost anyone suspected of having ASD, from non-verbal toddlers to verbally fluent adults.
Because of the hands-on, interactive nature of this workshop, participation will be limited to 25 people.
You’ll learn to:
-Explain the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to your colleagues and clients.
-Use the ADOS-2 to diagnose autism spectrum disorders in clients as young as age two.
-Explain testing results to clients and caregivers and refer them to support services.
-Seek and provide support and guidance within a network of fellow practitioners.
You may be able to earn continuing education credits for this workshop. Please contact us for more detail.
The ADOS-2 Training Program has three components to provide plenty of practice and reinforcement:
#1 Three-day Instructor-Led Workshop
-Introduces participants to the ADOS-2 and ADOS-2 toddler modules.
-Allows participants to observe the administration and scoring of the assessment.
-Teaches clinical practitioners to recognize when and how to administer the assessment.
-Provides practice scoring an assessment.
#2 Three Follow-Up Coaching Sessions At 1 month:
-Participants videotape themselves performing the ADOS-2 assessment, submit their videos, and then receive feedback during small group reviews.
-Participants complete and discuss coding decisions.
At 3 months:
-Pods of learners reconvene in a research facility and select participants perform a live assessment in an observation room with a real client.
-Participants discuss the assessments they observe and practice coding.
At 6 months:
-Participants who wish to pursue the research and reliability training option (an advanced certification) reconvene for additional training.
#3 Learning Circles
-Regularly scheduled live webinars.
-A private, online forum to share and request feedback, support and guidance from fellow learners.
