We will soon be offering the QBCheck as an option for testing for ADHD. We can typically doADHD testing through a clinical interview -- however there are some people who want more definitive answers before starting on medication. Other times, your provider may want you to do further testing in order to differentiate disorders that may have significant overlap like Bipolar Disorder.
What is the QBCheck?
The QBCheck is an online test you can do from the comfort of your own home that has been studied extensively. The test is fairly sensitive to picking up on ADHD -- it isn't perfect. It is MOST effective with adolescents and adults, not littles! It can help us identify if you have strong indications of impulsivity, hyperactivity, inattention or a combination of the three.
How long does the test take?
It typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete the test.
Are there any requirements to take this test?
The test *must* be taken on a computer with a functioning webcam
If the person taking the test is under 18, the guardian must be present in the room during the entire test.
A quiet environment with no distractions
A stable table for your laptop or computer to sit on
Closed blinds
A chair without wheels and without arm support to sit in during the test
Google Chrome as a web browser
Tablets and phones can not be used to take this test
Do I meet with anyone before I take the test?
One of our support staff members will connect with you via video at the time of your appointment. They will be checking your chair, your computer set up, that your webcam is working and that there are no significant distractions that will affect the test results. They will then provide instructions on accessing the test.
How much does the test cost?
The test is $225.
What happens after taking the test?
Your provider will have an appointment set up to review the results with you, and will have a report sent to you after your follow up appointment.
Does this help with choosing medications?
This is certainly a tool that your provider will be able to use to help you select a medication that could work best for you.
