Topic Overview
The child who is being evaluated for attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) may be evaluated for other disorders associated with the
condition, such as learning or behavior disorders. The child may be asked
questions (verbal tests) or may be given written tests to evaluate his or her
intellectual abilities.
The most common tests for intellectual abilities in children are:
- Stanford-Binet.
- WISC-III or,
preferably, WISC-IV.
- Kaufman Assessment and Battery for Children
(K-ABC).
