What is a 36 ADHD score?

For the total score of the WURS-25, there is a cut score of 36 (sensitivity and specificity of 96%; Ward et al., 1993) and clients with scores of 36 or above have childhood symptoms that are consistent with adults who have an ADHD diagnosis.

What is the Vanderbilt ADHD scale for parents?

The Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale is used to help in the diagnostic process of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children between the ages of 6 and 12. It has a total of 55 questions, includes all 18 of the DSM criteria for ADHD and should be completed by a parent of the child.

Is the Vanderbilt ADHD diagnostic rating scale reliable?

A meta analysis conducted by Bard, who extrapolated data, demonstrated that the test-retest reliability exceeded . 80 for all summed scale scores in elementary school children populations with a time span of about a year.

What is a positive Vanderbilt score for ADHD?

Predominantly Hyperactive/Impulsive subtype requires 6 out of 9 symptoms (scores of 2 or 3 are positive) on items 1018 AND a performance problem (score of 4 on at least 2, or 5 on at least 1) in the performance section for both the Parent and Teacher Assessment Scales.

How do you score the ADHD rating scale?

Rating scales will ask you to score behaviors, typically on a point scale of 0-3 or 4. Usually, 0 means never, and 3 or 4 means very often and the higher the score, the more severe the symptom. Each test has a different way of adding up the scores to determine the likelihood of ADHD.
