Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Test (ADHDT)
|
In just 5 to 10 minutes, this convenient rating scale can identify
individuals, between 3
and 23 years of age, who have
attention-deficit/hyperactivity
disorder. It is easily completed
by
teachers, parents, or others who know the referred individual.
Based on DSM-IV criteria for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder,
the test is composed
of 36 items and 3 subtests: Hyperactivity,
Impulsivity, Inattention.
Raw scores for these subtests are converted to percentiles and standard
scores.
A full-scale percentile rank and an overall ADHD quotient are
also provided.
Norms--collected on a national sample of 1,200 people
diagnosed with ADHD
--are presented
separately for males and females.
Carefully constructed and psychometrically sound, this test can be used
with confidence
to identify students who have ADHD, to evaluate children
referred for behavior problems,
and to determine appropriate
intervention.
