The assessment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) involves a psychiatric assessment with the child or young person, developmental information gathered from parents, the use of screening questionnaires and additional feedback highlighted by school. The assessment of ADHD also includes the use of the most unbiased computer-based tool (QbCheck), which has transformed the assessment by allowing accurate measure of the core elements of ADHD. Dr Ronzoni is generally able to reach a diagnostic conclusion in one or two appointments depending on whether there are additional difficulties. The evidence about the QbCheck (Test) is mounting and NICE has recently published the rationale of why it is a good resource to be included in ADHD assessments.
In some cases, Dr Ronzoni is also uses the Creyos Neurocognitive Testing in addition to the QbCheck. The Creyos protocol combines five tasks that are useful in the context of ADHD, including a working memory task, a response inhibition task, an attention-based task, a planning task, and a sustained attention to response task. Both, QbCheck and Creyos combined improved the diagnostic accuracy significantly and provide very valuable information on a child's learning strengths and weaknesses.
