Why is testing important?

Avoiding bias due to age and sex differences
- ADHD presents very differently, depending one’s age/sex.
  - Qbtech’s test results include data from age/sex-matched normative groups to ensure better comparisons of your symptom severity.
Symptoms of ADHD can overlap with other disorders
- Qbtech’s objective testing provides data to better understand if symptoms fit the
  
  presentation we expect with ADHD or not.
Ensuring optimal outcomes
- Finding the right treatment takes some trial-and-error, and determining treatment
  - Qbtech’s testing allows us to measure response to treatment to ensure you are receiving optimal results in a streamlined way.

What to expect

Testing involves a 15 to 20 minute, nonverbal, computer-based task and can be taken at home.
The task measures your attention level and impulse control.
While taking the task, movements are measured to determine if hyperactivity is present.
Results are compared to an age and sex matched group.
With the information from your clinical interview and rating scale(s), your clinician will interpret results to determine if you qualify for an ADHD diagnosis.
If an ADHD diagnosis is indicated, our practice may then conduct Qbtech’s testing after treatment is initiated to measure your response to treatment.
The test fee is a $100 out-of-pocket cost to the participant.
The interpretation appointment with the clinician to review the results is generally covered by most insurance providers and typically lasts between 20 to 30 minutes.
