Hi, I finally have my face to face assessment next week after two and a half years. I’m so anxious I can barely function. I’ve been told it will be ADOS2 that will be used. I’m really worried that it won’t be suitable for me because I was a nursery & infant teacher and can therefore role play and improvise (in front of young children anyway). I spent a long time learning how to do this because I desperately wanted to be a teacher. Can anyone give me reassurance about the ADOS2? I’ve only read negative things about it. Thank you
You'll be ok.
I had my assessment last year and had read plenty of negative reviews, but was determined to just be myself and take whatever tasks they threw at me.
To be honest, I really enjoyed the ADOS2 and would have happily continued for another hour or 2!
Yes, parts may seem to be geared towards children, but I simply put my faith in the process and the person assessing me.
I cannot emphasize this enough.....JUST BE YOURSELF
Thank you
Just be Yourself.The Professionals who assess You will see recognise " masking ".You will not need to convince them, They will see through You that even maybe You cannot see in Yourself.Just be YOURSELF.
