Evaluation Form: Parent and Teacher Version (Assessment)
This form can be used as an aid to help a health care provider in the diagnosis of Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder. Please complete the form as instructed by the health care provider.
First, put a check mark in box number 1, 2 or 3 that best describes the young person as they USUALLY
are. Then, once you have done that, if the score is 3 (very often box) please decide if, in your opinion,
the young person shows that characteristic “Clearly more than other young people at this age”. Thus,
some items may have two check marks in their rows and some items may have only one.
Note not all young people who demonstrate symptoms of ADHD have ADHD.
