ADHD and ADD are in the news
 on a daily basis. Yet there is a
lack of well trained professionals who understand how to
accurately assess, and treat,
 ADHD and ADD.
Most clinicians use informational interviews, rating scales and standardized tests to assess for ADHD/ADD.  But, parents frequently report receiving indeterminate results from those procedures.

QEEG or quantitative electroencephalography has been scientifically proven to be the most accurate way of assessing the likelihood of
ADHD and ADD.
The results help a clinician decide whether further assessment or testing may be needed.

How many people have ADHD?
According to the National Health
Institute (NIH), ADHD affects about 7% of the U.S. population.

Is there a biological basis?
Yes, ADHD and ADD show up in
brain scans and EEG readings and have a genetic link. 

Are there gender differences?
Yes. Males are more likely to
be diagnosed with ADHD/ADD than females. Males typically also display hyperactivity. Females tend to not have hyperactive problems.

QEEG ASSESSMENT

The  ADHD and ADD assessment process usually includes a clinical and school history, behavior rating scales and a battery of tests which evaluate
visual, auditory, memory, attentional and organizational skills. Research has indicated that those methods are
65 - 70% accurate in determining the likelihood of ADHD and ADD. 

QEEG adds another level of evidence-based accuracy to those evaluations that may have been done by a qualified
psychologist or neuropsychologist.

The QEEG process adds clinical objectivity to the assessment of ADHD and ADD.  QEEG  is proven  to be 90% accurate in assessing the likelihood of ADHD and ADD.  It is also 95% accurate in detecting co-existing conditions which  may better explain for any  problems; e.g., anxiety, depression, sleep disorder.  Research also indicates that the qEEG may detect brainwave activity associated with other issues, such as Asberger's Syndrome and Autism.
