Which professionals can administer the ados?

The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) can be administered by trained professionals such as psychologists, psychiatrists, speech-language pathologists, and other qualified clinicians who specialize in autism spectrum disorders. These professionals typically have completed specific training in the ADOS framework and understand how to interpret its results effectively.
