🧠 ADHD, known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental disorder of neurobiological origin that presents as symptoms attention difficulties, hyperactivity or impulsivity that cause significant discomfort in social, academic and family performance.⚡️ For an adequate diagnosis of ADHD, it is appropriate to consider the impression of the parent and school in relation to the symptoms presented by the patient, which is why the e-TDAH Test and ATENTO are ideal for this purpose.

It is a questionnaire that must be filled out by parents teaching staff in order to obtain a comprehensive assessment of the patient regarding symptoms and difficulties associated with the diagnosis of Attention Deficit with or without hyperactivity.

✅ The ATENTO Test is a multi-source and multidimensional questionnaire that can be administered between 3 years 0 months and 18 years 11 months and allows the evaluation of the following areas:

👉🏼 Evaluation of executive functions: allows the measurement of processes related to inhibitory control, attentional control, behavioral regulation, emotional regulation, working memory, cognitive flexibility, planning-organization and temporal information processing.

👉🏼 Impact scales: This scale provides information on how executive functioning and ADHD symptoms may be affecting the person being assessed in various family, school, and social contexts.

For example, at the family level, executive function deficits and ADHD-related symptoms may be expressed through difficulties in following routines, maintaining household organization, and fulfilling daily responsibilities.
