No autism assessment instrument is validated for use with Deaf/ Hard of Hearing children in the US. The ADOS-2 in ASL project aims to adapt ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule - Second Edition), a tool for assessing autism into ASL (American Sign Language).

Dr. Marie Coppola and Dr. Inge-Marie Eigsti presented this project "Challenges in Assessing Autism Spectrum Disorder in Deaf Individuals: Adapting the ADOS-2 into ASL" at the 6th Annual Language First Conference, Natick, MA in 2023.
