ADOS-2 Evaluations

Leela Haghanizadeh, LICSW is ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) evaluator for all ages. The ADOS is a structured, interactive evaluation that allows clinicians to observe communication, social interaction, play, and behavior in a supportive, engaging environment. It is designed for individuals of all ages, from toddlers to adults, with different modules tailored to developmental level and language abilities.

During the evaluation, individuals participate in a series of activities and conversations that help highlight strengths and areas of difference. The process is personalized, respectful, and adapted to ensure comfort and accuracy.

​

An ADOS evaluation typically includes:

• A clinical interview and background history

• Direct assessment using the appropriate ADOS module

• Behavioral observations

• Collaboration with caregivers (when applicable)

• A comprehensive written report with diagnostic impressions and recommendations

• ​

Our goal is to provide a thoughtful, strengths-based understanding of each individual, helping guide next steps for support, services, and personal growth.
