VANDERBILT ADHD RATING SCALES

This initial assessment tool, available on the website of Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt for use with children ages 6-12, contains rating scales for symptoms of disorders and for impairments in academic and behavioral performance. Although this tool is not intended for diagnosis, it is widely used to provide information about symptom presence and severity, as well as the child’s performance in the classroom, home, and social settings. The Vanderbilt Scale takes approximately 10 minutes to complete (the Parent Form has 55 items; the Teacher Form has 43 items).
