The courses being offered at Hebrew University in the area of ASD and other neurodevelopmental disorders are being coordinated, from introductory to more in-depth courses. Training opportunities are being organized for professionals already working in the field of ASD. For example, we are the only site in the Middle East to provide training in the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS: Lord et al. 2002), the gold standard instrument used to assist in diagnosing ASD.

Twice a year, at a minimum, Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS 2) trainings are being offered as well as booster meetings with professionals who have learned the ADOS and who want to maintain their reliability or discuss the use of the ADOS with complex cases.
