Autistic Spectrum Disorder Training
Assessment and Diagnosis of Adults – An Integrative Clinical Approach
Places Now Available
A two-day training course for clinicians (clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and related professionals) who want to set up their own diagnostic service or want to improve their diagnostic skills. The course covers training in the use of our diagnostic instrument (the Adult Asperger Assessment (AAA)), and our screening instruments (the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), the Empathy Quotient (EQ), and the Relatives’ Questionnaire).
This course is led by Dr Janine Robinson, Chartered Clinical Psychologist and senior clinician in the CLASS Clinic in Cambridge. The CLASS Clinic has assessed and diagnosed over 400 adults with AS over the last 10 years and is a unique specialist clinic.
The course covers all aspects surrounding screening, assessment and diagnosis, with invited lecturers on the first day. The second day provides the opportunity for interactive discussion, with a DVD presentation of the standard AAA assessment procedure. Trainees gain experience in conducting Asperger Syndrome (AS) assessments for adults, employing the AAA diagnostic method. Courses are run 4 times per year with an average of 10 trainees per course. The course is held at a convenient location in Cambridge.
