For clinicians
ADOS-2 kit hire in Melbourne — $250.
The ADOS-2 is rare and often difficult to source. We make it available for hire to qualified psychologists, paediatricians, speech pathologists and other clinicians who need access for autism assessment.
About the ADOS-2
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) is a structured, semi-standardised assessment of communication, social interaction, play, and restricted/repetitive behaviours, used as part of comprehensive autism assessment. It is widely considered a gold-standard observational component of autism diagnostic practice.
Access to the kit is limited by both cost and availability. For clinicians who conduct autism assessments occasionally rather than as a primary practice area — or for those whose own kit is in transit, repair or temporarily unavailable — kit hire is a practical alternative to outright purchase.
Eligibility
Who can hire the kit
Qualified clinicians
Registered psychologists, paediatricians, child and adolescent psychiatrists, and speech-language pathologists who hold formal training in the use of the ADOS-2 (or an equivalent ADOS workshop) are eligible to hire.
Trainees under supervision
Trainees with appropriate supervision arrangements may also hire — please provide the supervising clinician's details when enquiring.
Proof of qualification and ADOS training is required before hire is confirmed. This is a professional requirement of the publisher and not a discretionary check.
