In-Depth Clinical Development

Adults naturally scaffold conversations for children, whereas school recess demands split-second decoding of sarcasm, shifting rules, and non-verbal peer cues. At PsicoKids & Teens®, Dr. Scarlett Del Carmen Rodríguez Rivera (trained with ADOS-2 co-author Dr. Rhiannon J. Luyster and accredited by Dr. Noha Minshawi-Patterson / ADIPA) evaluates peer reciprocity across the ADI-R and English ADOS-2 (Modules 2 and 3), translating findings into structured recess accommodations (IEP / P.I.A.R. under Law 2628 of 2026) and English ABA social-pragmatic coaching.
