ADOS -2: Social Overtures Vs Social Responses
Taken from the ADOS-2 Manual
|Social Overture |Social Response |
|Social overture can be thought of as a behaviour initiated by the |Social responses are behaviours that are in responses to another |
|examinee that is directed to another person for the purpose of |person’s actions or to the social situation. |
|communicating social intent. | |
| |Can be subtle/overt, appropriate/inappropriate. |
|Social overtures may vary in quality, from high-quality overtures in | |
|which a number of forms of communication are combined with obvious and | |
|appropriate social intent to those of lesser quality (e.g. looking at | |
|the construction task silently with his palm out for more block). | |
| | |
|In order to be counted as a social overture the child’s action must be | |
|purposely directed toward the examiner. (e.g. throwing a toy at the | |
|examiner is an action directed at the examiner, unless it was an | |
|attempted to get the examiners attention, and this a poor quality | |
|overture, it would not be considered an overture. | |
| | |
|Subtle overtures: e.g. making eye contact to “check in” with the | |
|examiner during play | |
| | |
|Overt: e.g. Looking at the examiner while handing her a toy saying “now | |
|it’s your turn”. | |
|“Quality of social overtures” |“Quality of Social Responses” |
| |The absence of any response when a response is expected and socially |
|Focus on the quality not the quantity – consider the overtures made, |appropriate is taken into account. |
|Credit should not be taken away if the child fails to make an overture | |
|in a certain situation (e.g. requesting more blocks). |A non-response in a situation that would normally require a response is |
| |counted as a poor response. |
|Quality should be rated without regard to whether overtures occurred in | |
|expected situations. |Responses to the social situation in general is also considered in this |
| |item- e.g. child spitting his gum into the table |
