Autism Clinical Interview Adults Training (ACIA)

A short training course enabling delegates to be trained to use the Autism Clinical Interview for Adults (ACIA) - a diagnostic assessment for people age 16+ that can be used in clinical services or research.

 

Delegates will receive training in use and administration, a copy of the manual and ACIA Subject and Informant booklets.

Following training delegates will be able to use the ACIA in their diagnostic practice and/or research.

 

Course Description

ACIA training has been kept low cost to maximise opportunities for uptake; funds from training are reinvested in further ACIA development.

Following training, PDF copies of the ACIA documents will be provided to delegates free of charge (including the ACIA Manual, Pre-Interview Questionnaires and the ACIA Subject and Informant versions of the main interview).

The PDF and the paper copies provided should be used to create colour printed versions or colour photocopies of the ACIA materials for personal use in your diagnostic service.  We make no charge for ACIA use.  Your clinical service should pay for local printing/copying.  Versions you print or copy should be exact copies - delegates are not permitted to edit or change the ACIA.

‌        

If required printed versions can be provided by us at additional cost (please contact ACIAtraining@ncl.ac.uk regarding costs).

Translation

We are interested in the ACIA being translated into languages other than English, so that the materials are made widely available to support the assessment of adults with possible autism. The ACIA has been translated into:

- German

- Polish

- Welsh

If you would like to translate the ACIA into the official spoken and written language of your country, there are requirements for working with us, please get in touch.
