ADI-R Specialist Certification – Autism Assessment
This certification focuses on the Autism Diagnostic Interview–Revised (ADI-R), a gold-standard structured assessment used within multidisciplinary autism diagnostic pathways.

You will be able to confidently contribute to multidisciplinary autism assessments using the ADI-R within structured diagnostic pathways.
