Improving ADHD assessments through QbTest implementation

Supporting information

Quotes

The following quotes are from clinicians:

"There was very contradictory information from his primary school and new secondary school, so the QbTest gave us diagnostic confidence."

"The young person did not want to engage in a child‑interview session, making it hard to gain their views. He was willing to attend a QbTest because it didn't require sharing experiences. The QbTest fostered engagement, enabling him to attend the interview afterwards."

"The QbTest provided objective information for an assessment with a complex presentation of possible autism, learning disability and trauma, and there was very little external information as the young person was not in school."

"I would have likely completed a school observation if I didn't do the QbTest, so that was time saved."
