Vanderbilt ADHD Scoring Template

Dimensional scoring analyzes the average frequency of symptoms in each domain (e.g., inattentiveness, hyperactivity-impulsivity), while symptom scoring counts the total presence of specific "positive" symptoms.

Compare your calculated scores to the Vanderbilt manual's age- and gender-normed tables. Scores within the "clinically significant" range suggest potential ADHD. It is essential to consult with a Doctor or other mental health specialist in developmental and behavioral pediatrics to get an official diagnosis.

Gathering information from both perspectives provides a more comprehensive view of the child's behavior across different settings. Teachers may pick up on behaviors such as careless mistakes, difficulty organizing tasks, difficulty waiting, difficulty playing, physical fights, quiet play activities, academic performance, school assignments performance, and other careless mistakes that may not be noticeable in the home environment.
