NICHQ Vanderbilt ADHD Assessment

Calculates scores based on the Vanderbilt rating scale, a standardized tool designed for screening attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. The assessment process involves reviewing parent or teacher reports across various domains of behavior, allowing users to quantify observed symptoms related to inattention and hyperactivity. By aggregating responses from multiple items, the calculator provides an objective score that helps determine if a child's reported behaviors meet established criteria for further clinical consideration. Pediatricians, school psychologists, caregivers, and educators utilize this resource to gather initial data points regarding potential ADHD symptoms. It serves as a structured means of assessing behavioral patterns, providing quantitative input that can supplement observational records or interview findings.
