Course requirements

  • As this is an introductory course, previous exposure to the ADI-R is not necessary.
  • However, use of the ADI-R presumes prior training and experience in diagnostic assessment of ASD and competence in clinical interviewing techniques.
  • For those wishing to use the ADI-R for research purposes, advanced/research training is required following completion of this course.
  • Each trainee will need to have access to an ADI-R manual, as well as two ADI-R booklets and protocols.

About the course

  • This two-day web-based training is intended to introduce new users of the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) to administration and scoring principles of the instrument.
  • The ADI-R is a semi-structured, standardized parent interview designed to elicit information about social-communication deficits and restricted and repetitive behaviors associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
  • The course will be led by Dr. Somer Bishop, Ph.D., who has used the ADI-R extensively for clinical and research purposes.
  • She will use a combination of lecture and video examples to teach the basics of ADI-R administration and scoring.
  • Trainees will have the opportunity to view and code two full ADI-R administrations.
  • The trainer will lead discussion of each ADI-R code, and will instruct trainees about how to complete the algorithm form and determine ADI-R classification.
  • In addition, the course will cover best-practice guidelines for using the ADI-R as part of ASD diagnostic assessment.
  • Information will be provided about psychometrics and recent research on the ADI-R, as well as instructions for obtaining further training and practice following this introductory course.
Learning objectives: 
  • Explain the use of the ADI-R
  • Explain ADI-R administration
  • Demonstrate ADI-R administration with videos from the first case.

Comments from professionals who have taken this course in the past:

Richelle Dolan:
The presenter was great. Knowledgeable, approachable, answered questions promptly or provided an alternative resource if she did not know the answer.

Ella Hennessey:
This was an excellent course!

Charlie Rossiter:
The course was well organized and I found the case based presentations to be incredibly helpful. It would be interesting to observe/score an intake without a known diagnosis for training and learning purposes. But I felt the two cases presented both had differences that highlighted how the scoring can vary and that it should be used as a tool in combination with other tools. I did not feel I fully understood what to expect of the course from the intro email but nonetheless the course ran very smoothly. I learned many things to take back to our team. I am planning to sign up for the differential diagnosis course. If there is a listserv or other group of professionals for ongoing conversation of tricky cases or new literature that would be an amazing way to supplement ongoing learning and discussions.

Robyn Christensen-Sandfort:
As with the ADOS course, I learned a great deal and thoroughly appreciated Dr. Somer’s expertise as well as her engagement with participants.

Adrian Simpson:
It was a superb course really and the trainer was excellent.  Perhaps the questions to them could have been managed so that they were only asked at certain points but this is a very minor point and I appreciate the trainer's knowledge base and also their very friendly, welcoming attitude and well grounded personality, which was very important.
