ADHD Evaluations
ADHD Evaluations powered by Qbcheck-
what should you expect?
A diagnostic assessment for ADHD involves three main parts: gathering a clinical history through an interview with your provider, an objective measurement of symptoms, and the completion of one or more rating scales.
What is Qbcheck?
Qbcheck is an FDA-cleared test measuring all three core symptom domains; hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. It is used when evaluating ADHD symptoms and measuring response to ADHD treatment.
The evaluation involves a 15 or 20-minute computer-based task that measures your (or your child’s) ability to maintain attention and impulse control. Meanwhile, an infrared camera tracks movements, and therefore activity, during the test. The results are based on a comparison of your (or your child’s) performance with data from other people of the same sex and age.

When will I receive my results?
The raw data is available immediately after the test is completed. However, your clinician must first interpret the data together with other relevant information.
How should I prepare?
Try to ensure adequate sleep the night before the test.
Avoid consuming excessive amounts of caffeine the day of the test.
If you are to be tested while on ADHD medication, please ensure that you take the medication as directed. Our office will schedule the test a specific number of hours after the medication is taken, depending on the type of medication.
For a child, explain that they will be taking a test on a computer which is designed to be boring.
