The QuotientTM ADHD Test for kids takes 15 minutes and is administered right in the doctor’s office. The system collects data on the child’s ability to sit still, inhibit impulsivity and respond accurately to images on a computer screen. The test report provides analysis of motion, attention, and attention states. Integrated composite scores report the level and severity of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity compared to other kids of the same age and gender. The report is available within minutes of the test, so you can discuss the results during the same visit.
