Schedule
We'll first view ADHD as a diagnostic entity in its historical perspective and define commonly used terms. We'll review the sub-types and diagnostic criteria of ADHD as set forth in the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV (DSM IV) and discuss their limitations. After reviewing the etiologies of the ADHD symptom-complex and diagnostic procedures, we'll discuss relevant treatment interventions with specific focus on the use of medications.
We'll then present an overview of the important features and uses of continuous performance tests (CPTs) in the diagnosis and treatment of attention disorders, using the T.O.V.A. as our model, and contrasting it with the other commercially available CPTs.
We'll analyze and interpret, in depth, a T.O.V.A. Interpretation Report and its companion reports, The Classroom and the Home Intervention Reports. We'll then examine a number of T.O.V.A. Teaching Protocols illustrating the use of the test in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.
