What is ADOS-2 Testing?

Understanding ADOS‑2 Autism Evaluation

The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule – Second Edition (ADOS-2) is a gold standard assessment tool used to help identify Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It provides a structured and standardized way to observe and evaluate social interaction, communication, play, and restricted and repetitive behaviors.
At Spectrum Vibes, we use the ADOS-2 to gain a comprehensive understanding of your child’s strengths and challenges. This helps guide accurate diagnoses and support plans.

Why a Diagnosis Matters

The Power of a Diagnosis

An Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis opens the door to vital resources and therapies that support your child’s growth and well-being. These services may include:

ADOS Testing

ADOS Testing

The 1. Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule – Second Edition (ADOS-2) is a gold standard assessment tool used to help identify Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It provides a structured and standardized way to observe and evaluate social interaction, communication, play, and restricted and repetitive behaviors. Early identification helps families connect with the right supports, advocate effectively, and build a coordinated care plan that supports the child’s development.

Speech Therapy

Speech Therapy

We provide pediatric speech and feeding therapy to support children with communication, language, articulation, social skills, and feeding challenges. Our therapy helps children improve understanding and expression of language, speech clarity, and confidence in everyday interactions. Feeding therapy supports children with picky eating, oral-motor skills, chewing, swallowing, and safe, positive mealtime experiences. Services are family-centered, developmentally appropriate, and tailored to each child’s unique needs.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy

Our pediatric occupational therapy services help children develop the skills they need for independence and success in daily activities. We support fine motor development, self-care skills (such as dressing, feeding, and hygiene), and sensory processing challenges. Therapy is individualized to improve attention, coordination, emotional regulation, and participation at home, school, and in the community. Family-centered strategies are provided to promote carryover and long-term progress.

We accept most Medicaid insurance plans for therapy services. ADOS assessments are self-pay. Contact us to learn more about pricing and scheduling.
