What is GAIN?

The Global Autism Interactive Network (GAIN) provides professional development for ADOS-2 proficiency and community building among implementers, hosting virtual training sessions led by prominent international ADOS-2 trainers. These sessions involve detailed review of administration guidelines, video discussions, analysis of participant scoring data, and interactive engagement allowing questions and comments to be addressed in separate webinars, alongside sharing pertinent research findings.

Learning Objectives

• Describe the administration and intent/purpose of the tasks in the ADOS-2 Module.
• Describe the meaning of the specific codes on the ADOS-2 Module discussed in the webinar. 
• Calculate all scoring for the ADOS-2, with a focus on the designated Module for each series.

How does the GAIN Series work?

The GAIN series provides reviews of the individual ADOS-2 Modules on a 3-month schedule (January thru March, April thru June, July thru September, and October thru December). Each module is given an intensive review by sharing videos of the administration of the module to two individuals, opportunities to score the administration by attendees, followed by discussions of the administration, scoring and relevant research.

On the first month of the series, attendees are given access to a video of the administration of an ADOS-2 module early in the month, and the opportunity to submit their own scores for the administration, as well as written comments and questions. At the end of the first month, attendees participate in an hour-long webinar discussing the video. The second month of the series is the same as the first month. The final month of the series is a webinar with additional discussion about ADOS administration and coding, and sharing relevant clinical research.
