For American, Canadian, and European families living in Medellín or Cartagena, navigating a child’s developmental evaluation in a second language can feel overwhelming. Discover how PsicoKids & Teens® delivers gold-standard ADOS-2 and ADI-R evaluations in English—led by one of the very few specialists in Colombia trained directly by ADOS-2 co-author Dr. Rhiannon Luyster.

In Colombia, many general practitioners or neuropsychologists purchase unauthorized copies of the ADOS-2 manual and score it like a math quiz. Learn how to verify real international certification before booking your child’s evaluation.

Many expat parents pay for a traditional neuropsychological battery only to receive a 10-page document filled with bell curves and percentile tables—with zero practical guidance on how to stop meltdowns or build language. Here is how our 4-Phase Protocol bridges diagnosis and English ABA intervention.

Parents often ask: «Is my 14-month-old baby too young for an autism test?» while expat adults ask: «Am I too old at 35 to get evaluated?». Learn how we administer all 5 ADOS-2 modules across the entire lifespan in English and Spanish.

One of the most common reasons expat families seek a second opinion is when a previous evaluator ran only the ADOS-2 (without the ADI-R) and missed their child’s autism because the child held it together for 45 minutes in a quiet office.
