What does the Nichq Vanderbilt assessment scale test for?

The NICHQ Vanderbilt Assessment Scales are used by health care professionals to help diagnose ADHD in children between the ages of 6- and 12-years.

How do I interpret the Vanderbilt results?

These scales should NOT be used alone to make any diag- nosis. You must take into consideration information from multiple sources. Scores of 2 or 3 on a single Symptom question reflect often-occurring behaviors. Scores of 4 or 5 on Performance questions reflect problems in performance.

What is considered a positive Vanderbilt score?

From Teacher NICHQ Vanderbilt: Scores of 2 or 3 on a single item reflect often-occurring behaviors. Oppositional-defiant/conduct disorder are screened by 3 of 10 items (scores of 2 or 3 are positive) (questions 1928) AND a score of 4 on at least 2, or 5 on at least 1, of the 8 performance items (questions 3643).

What is the Vanderbilt scale for ADHD?

Structured into two main parts, the Vanderbilt Scale assesses core ADHD symptoms, including inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, as well as additional domains relevant to childhood behavior disorders such as oppositional-defiant behavior, conduct disorder, and anxiety/depression.

How long does a Vanderbilt assessment take?

A typical assessment is done on an intensive outpatient basis, over two to four days. If necessary, we have the capability to hospitalize clients at the Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital.
