The CARS-2 revision was published by Western Psychological Services (WPS) in 2010. The CARS-2 has become one of the most widely used and empirically validated autism assessments. It has proven especially effective in discriminating between children with autism and those with severe cognitive deficits, and in distinguishing mild-to-moderate from severe autism. During this training participants will learn how the CARS-2 expands the test's clinical value, making it more responsive to individuals on the “high-functioning” end of the autism spectrum (i.e. those with average or higher IQ scores, better verbal skills, and more subtle social and behavioral deficits). Participants will become familiar with all three forms included with the CARS-2 and learn how it is useful in identifying symptoms of autism.
