- Organizing, Prioritizing and Activating to Work
- Focusing, Sustaining and Shifting Attention to Tasks
- Regulating Alertness, Sustaining Effort and Processing Speed
- Managing Frustration and Modulating Emotions
- Utilizing Working Memory and Accessing Recall
- Monitoring and Self-Regulating Action (Children’s edition only)
Scoring & Reporting
The convenient READY SCORE® form gives immediate cluster scores and a total score indicating overall impairment from a broad range of ADD symptoms. T scores indicate how much impairment the examinee is showing on each of the clusters, relative to a normative population. Results indicate whether the individual appears to have ADD and would benefit from a full evaluation for the disorder.
Simplify scoring and reporting with the efficient Brown ADD Scales Scoring Assistant® which allows you to quickly score and analyze results from all the Brown ADD Scales. The software accepts record form inputs; maintains multiple record forms for an examinee; exports record form data; and generates a graphical and narrative report.
