The ADI-R is a comprehensive interview, which provides a thorough assessment of individuals suspected of having autism or other related disorders. The ADI-R has proven highly useful for formal diagnosis as well as treatment and educational planning.

The ADI-R is also considered a “gold standard” instrument and is highly recommended for use with the ADOS-2. It provides an opportunity for caregivers to provide detailed input on their child's current behaviors and early developmental milestones.

A trained professional will interview the caregiver to ensure they have been actively involved in the evaluation process.
