The Brown ADD Scales go beyond measures that address only hyperactivity to assess for less apparent impairments of executive functioning. Clusters of executive functions assessed include:

Organizing, Prioritizing and Activating to Work
Focusing, Sustaining and Shifting Attention to Tasks
Regulating Alertness, Sustaining Effort and Processing Speed
Managing Frustration and Modulating Emotions
Utilizing Working Memory and Accessing Recall
Monitoring and Self-Regulating Action (Children’s edition only)

Scoring & Reporting

The convenient READY SCORE® form gives immediate cluster scores and a total score indicating overall impairment from a broad range of ADD symptoms. T scores indicate how much impairment the examinee is showing on each of the clusters, relative to a normative population. Results indicate whether the individual appears to have ADD and would benefit from a full evaluation for the disorder.

Simplify scoring and reporting with the efficient Brown ADD Scales Scoring Assistant® which allows you to quickly score and analyze results from all the Brown ADD Scales. The software accepts record form inputs; maintains multiple record forms for an examinee; exports record form data; and generates a graphical and narrative report.
