Learner Objectives
This session will help participants…
- use an Evidence-Based Assessment approach including sensitivity and predictive power to identify the likelihood of ADHD diagnosis in a student.

Description
Attentional functioning, and the likelihood of ADHD diagnosis, is one of the most common referral questions for school-based practitioners. Although there are many tools available to assist in measuring attention, few offer an Evidence-Based Assessment approach to identifying the likelihood of ADHD diagnosis in a student. In this skills based workshop, participants will learn an Evidence-Based Assessment model with the BRIEF2 to identify students with ADHD subtypes and to write clear, concise results and impressions.
