Early diagnosis of developmental disorders is critical for the efficiency of intervention. However, timely detection is complicated by the absence of a biological test, insufficient specificity of screening instruments as well as low awareness among parents and professionals about characteristics of early age behavior and communication. The article presents a new module of the ADOS-2, a widely-used observation schedule for people presumed to have an autism spectrum disorder. This module is designed for use with children of 12 to 30 months of age.
