The ADD ADHD Quick Test...

If you are concerned about your child's behaviour you can get a better understanding of the typical behaviours associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Spectrum by consulting an ADD ADHD quick test.

The ADD/ADHD quick test is designed to provide insight into the typical ADHD behaviours, but is not intended to diagnose a child with ADHD.

ADHD testing requires an experienced professional health care provider and incorporates a number of in-depth tests.

But the ADD/ADHD quick test can identify 'red flags' in regards to your child's behaviour and may encourage you to seek further medical help.

Defining ADHD

ADHD is a condition in which children have difficulty concentrating, paying attention and staying focused.

An ADD/ADHD quick test takes into account the behaviours associated with the three categories within the ADHD spectrum, which are...

• ADHD Predominantly Inattentive Type
• ADHD Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type
• ADHD Predominantly Combined Type

Interpreting The ADD/ADHD Quick Test

When considering the behaviours listed in the ADD/ADHD quick test it is important to note that typical ADHD behaviours appear in a child by the age of seven, and the behaviours have been present for more than six months.

ADHD behaviours are also considered extreme, to the point where they cannot be ignored. The behaviour should be considered socially unacceptable and age-inappropriate.
