An objective, accurate test is now available inthe Warwick area. The QuotientTM ADHD Test.

Everybody knows someone with ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder). It is acommon brain disorder that affects more than 4 million children and adolescents, andmore than 9 million adults. Peoplewith ADHD have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors, and in some cases, areoverly active. Although these characteristics are present tosome extent in everyone, when the symptoms are developmentallyimpairing, pervasive and persis-tent, it might be ADHD.

ADHD historically has beenchallenging to diagnose becausemany assessment tools rely largely on subjective information.now, the QuotientTM ADHD Test is available to give clinicians objective and accurate data to perform a betterassessment and to guide treatment decisions.The QuotientTM ADHD System is cleared by the

FDA and is the only test with micro-motion andattention state analysis. The QuotientTM ADHDSystem is available in a select few offices in thestate of Rhode Island.

The QuotientTM ADHD Test for kids takes 15minutes and is administered right in the doctor’s

office. The system collects dataon the child’s ability to sit still,inhibit impulsivity and respondaccurately to images on a computer screen. The test reportprovides analysis of motion,attention, and attention states.Integrated composite scores reportthe level and severity of inatten-tion, hyperactivity and impulsivitycompared to other kids of thesame age and gender. The reportis available within minutes of thetest, so you can discuss theresults during the same visit.

For more information,please contact the Quotient Specialist in your area, Alexander Scagnelli, MD, PC(401.821.4100 x 19).
