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

Everybody knows someone with ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder). It is a common brain disorder that affects more than 4 million children and adolescents, and more than 9 million adults. People with ADHD have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors, and in some cases, are overly active. Although these characteristics are present to some extent in everyone, when the symptoms are developmentally impairing, pervasive and persistent, it might be ADHD. ADHD historically has been challenging to diagnose because many assessment tools rely largely on subjective information. now, the QuotientTM ADHD Test is available to give clinicians objective and accurate data to perform a better assessment and to guide treatment decisions.

The QuotientTM ADHD System is cleared by the

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

The QuotientTM ADHD Test for kids takes 15 minutes and is administered right in the doctor’s office. The system collects data on the child’s ability to sit still, inhibit impulsivity and respond accurately to images on a computer screen. The test report provides analysis of motion, attention, and attention states.

Integrated composite scores report the level and severity of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity compared to other kids of the same age and gender. The report is available within minutes of the test, so you can discuss the results during the same visit.

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