LAF travels to Atlanta for ADOS Training
The Lowcountry Autism Foundation's multidisciplinary team of professionals recently attended a 2-day training course on the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), in Atlanta at the Emory Conference Center. The ADOS is regarded as the ‘gold standard’ in evaluating and diagnosing autism spectrum disorders. This is the Foundation’s first step toward developing a local assessment team to assist with early identification and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders. The LAF team will also collaborate and train with the Medical University of South Carolina, where families must currently wait at least 6 months for an evaluation.
Present at the training were: Front row: Frances Ferrene, PhD, Maggie Mulcahy, OTR/L, Linda Meyer, SLP, Becky Tracy, SLP, Cynthia Wibel, LCSW, Ravi Srivastava, MD; Back row: Michelle Morrison, SLP, Tami Lawrence, OTR/L, Kendra Twitty, LPC, Megan Mack, OTR/L, Sherry Homishak, OD, BCABA. (Not Present: Jaime Patillo, OTR/L).
The Lowcountry Autism Foundation would like to thank the Children's Relief Fund for their generous donation to support this training.
Once training is complete, a generous donation by the Long Cove Club Community Endowment Fund will support assessments for families in our community.
