“We should not pathologize ‘normal’.”

Do you include a PVT as part of your standard ADHD battery? If not, I bet you will after this course! Drs. Julie Suhr and Allyson Harrison sit down with Dr. Jeremy Sharp to talk through their research and experience with validity issues in ADHD assessment with adults. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering if that young adult client REALLY has ADHD or if you should be considering other factors or diagnoses, this is the course for you. The following are just a few of the topics covered:

  • The most common diagnostic criteria that we ignore when diagnosing ADHD
  • An ideal ADHD battery should include
  • The role of non-diagnostic environmental factors in functioning
  • Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive power in our assessment instruments
