Aids in identifying, diagnosing, treating, and monitoring ADHD symptoms in individuals ages 5-18 years.

The ADHD-SRS is a standardized, norm-referenced ADHD rating scale that may be used either for clinical assessment or research purposes. It was developed to aid in symptom identification, diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring treatment progress in children and adolescents ages 5-18 years.

Raters need only 10-15 minutes to complete the rating scale, which is available in both English and Spanish.

Features of the ADHD-SRS

• The ADHD-SRS contains 56 items, providing a thorough, complete assessment based on the DSM-IV™. It provides two subscales: Hyperactive-Impulsive (HI) and Inattention (IN).
• Raters may be selected from either the child's home or school setting, depending on the type of information needed.
• Normed on a national sample of more than 2,800 individuals ages 5-18 years and stratified by age, gender, ethnicity, and geographic region.
• Highly reliable and valid.
