ADHD Rating Scale ― 5 for Children and Adolescents: Checklists, Norms, and Clinical Interpretation

Grounded in more than 20 years of research, this valid, reliable, easy-to-administer instrument is widely used by mental health, educational, and medical practitioners in screening, diagnosis, and treatment evaluation.

Each scale takes just 5 minutes to complete and comes in both a child (5-10) and adolescent (11-17) version, with developmentally appropriate symptom descriptions. Complete instructions are provided for scoring and interpretation, including separate scoring profiles for symptoms and impairments in boys and girls.

New to This Edition:
*Updated for DSM-5.
*Separate adolescent versions of both home and school rating scales.
*Includes functional impairment items linked to each symptom dimension (inattention symptoms and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms).
*Full analysis of the revised scale's psychometric properties.
