A few of our frequently asked questions about this course
The Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) is a structured, investigator-based interview developed by Lord, Rutter, and Le Couteur. Conducted with a parent or primary caregiver, it covers Social Interaction, Communication, and Restricted/Repetitive Behaviour. Alongside the ADOS-2, it is considered the gold standard for autism assessment due to its rigorous psychometric properties, extensive research base, and global clinical adoption across all age groups.
This course is designed for qualified healthcare professionals involved in autism assessment, including clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, paediatricians, specialist nurses, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, and MDT autism assessment team members. Prior clinical experience with neurodevelopmental assessments is recommended.
The course runs as a full-day programme (09:00–17:00) and is delivered entirely remotely via Microsoft Teams. Three modules cover ADI-R foundations, administration and coding, and scoring and clinical interpretation — with interactive case discussions, practical exercises, and a live Q&A throughout.
Yes. All participants receive a CPD certificate upon completion awarding 8 CPD hours, submissible to BPS, HCPC, NMC, GMC, and GPhC. It can also be used for insurance provider credentialling and revalidation portfolios.
Participants receive 8 clinical resources including the ADI-R Quick Reference Card, Coding Algorithm Worksheet, Sample Interview Probes Guide, DSM-5/ICD-11 Cross-Reference Chart, Clinical Report Writing Template, Differential Diagnosis Guide, ADOS-2 Integration Overview, and NICE Guidelines Summary. All materials are digital with lifetime access.
This training provides comprehensive instruction in ADI-R administration, coding, and interpretation and is designed to equip clinicians for real-world use. Participants should ensure they meet any additional requirements set by their professional body, service, or employer. Contact us at info@globaladhdnetwork.com for context-specific guidance.
