Autistic volunteers (with a diagnosis), aged 18 , needed to take part in ADOS training for diagnostic practitioners!
Waiting times for diagnosis are unacceptably long. The ADOS is not perfect, but it is a powerful diagnostic tool.

Our training includes a chance for every trainee (normally very experienced clinicians) to practise administering part of an ADOS with an autistic volunteer. Courses take place in Edinburgh or online.
Volunteers are reimbursed £50 for their time & we cover local travel costs too

Today we are speaking in Edinburgh at a Science & the Parliament event about how neurodivergent children & young people have many characteristics critical to successful science
But they need to be supported by all the adults who care for them having access to ND training

Neurodiversity-affirming & neurodivergent-informed report writing can only be built on a solid foundation of neurodiversity -affirming & neurodivergent-informed practice across all our work; assessment & therapy. This requires deep work, thinking & reflection. @RCSLTLearn

New paper written by multiple members of our research centre, explaining what neurodiversity is, for a young reader.
“Knowing about neurodiversity can help us understand why everyone processes and experiences things differently—and there is no “right” way!”

Proud to have been a part of this paper explaining neurodiversity for younger readers
