Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Diagnosing ADHD: Conducting Valid, Comprehensive, and Collaborative Assessments" by Caroline Buzanko.
This medical PowerPoint presentation tells us how a valid, comprehensive, and collaborative assessment is important for diagnosing ADHD.
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects approximately 10% of school-aged children and 4% of adults. It is a condition that impairs a persons ability to focus, pay attention, and control impulsive behaviors. Diagnosis of ADHD is important for proper treatment and management of symptoms. However, it is important to conduct a valid, comprehensive, and collaborative assessment to ensure an accurate diagnosis.

Assessing Comorbidities
Slide 34-

Assessing Comorbidities Is a diagnosis be the main focus? What is the nature of the impairment? What are the behaviours that need to be targeted? Measures of impairment vs. symptoms Rating scales & FBA Developmental deviance?
Slide 35-

Assessment considerations Working understanding of diagnostic criteria Practical understanding of symptoms’ affect individual’s functioning Diagnostic strategy Multidimensional Frequency/severity fluctuate across settings and people Ultimate goal: promoting success
Slide 36-

Objectives Reliability and validity of approaches to assessing symptoms and impairments of ADHD Effective integration of information Balance between treatment utility and cost effectiveness
Slide 37-

Methods Social, Emotional, Behavioral, and Academic Functioning (across contexts) History and Clinical interviews Empirically supported behaviour rating scales Review of files Behavioural observations Anecdotal comments Measures of Psychological Processes Cognitive ability Academic achievement Neuropsychological tests

Phase 1: Intake Clinical interviews Engaging parents
Slide 49-

Intake: Textbook recommendations Initial questions: Referral question & purpose of the assessment Previous assessments? Other diagnoses? Medications? If so, possible to withhold for testing? Initial paperwork (1st or 2nd phase): Information forms/demographic information Developmental/medical forms Behavior rating scale Rating scale for ADHD symptoms EF rating scale Adaptive functioning checklist Home/school situations questionnaire Previous reports/records
Slide 50-

Intake: Clinical interviews With parents Clarify reason for assessment Child’s development and behavior General descriptions and presenting problems Get specifics Range of behaviours and settings EF and manifestations at home and school Rule out alternative explanations
Slide 51-

Intake: Clinical interviews Functioning in developmental domains Academic, intellectual, language, motor, emotional Consideration of differential diagnosis Social Trouble making/keeping friends? Interactions/behaviors with peers? Relationships with classmates? Recreational activities School History (preschool to present) Relationships with teachers/classmates, academic functioning, accommodations/strategies, comments from teachers about performance/behaviors
Slide 52-

Intake: Clinical interviews Extended family history Sibling development, parent development, psychiatric difficulties in the child/family, medical history, developmental disorders or tic disorders Family relations & other parental factors Employment problems Family functioning (e.g., stress, parent-child interactions, child compliance, marital difficulties, parent and child’s social network) Parent psychopathology, knowledge and skills Previous treatment Parent understanding of ADHD
Slide 53-

Intake: Clinical interviews Medical history Significant events Obtain impressions on child and parent functioning Parent-child interactions
Slide 54-

Intake: Clinical interviews With teachers Symptoms and associated impairments Productivity Behaviours and environmental influences Relationships (teacher/peers) Academic skills and challenges Learning to learn skills/EF skills Strategies
Slide 55-

Sample questions: Range of behaviors: When does student pay attention? When does student have trouble paying attention? Why do you think there is a difference between these situations? What typical activities do you share/direct with this student? e.g., Classroom lectures vs. interactive hands-on activities; chores and homework vs. leisure activities Obtain benchmark samples of behaviors Probe: degree of problems/success with task, influences on behavior in the task, developmental appropriateness of the behavior
Slide 56-

Intake: Clinical Interviews Unstructured Allows for flexibility Can be useful for treatment planning BUT Questionable reliability and validity Influence of personal biases Structured Reliability/validity Map onto DSM criteria BUT Limited utility for treatment planning Time-consuming, rigid
Slide 57-

Intake: Engage parents through preparation
Slide 58-

Slide 59-

Phase 2: Formal assessment Rating scales Clinical measures Collaboration Assessment intervention
Slide 60-

Engage Parents: communicate throughout
Slide 61-

Rating Scales At least two adults who interact with the child regularly (e.g., teacher and parent) Assessment tools: Broadband assessments Not sufficient for diagnosis but useful for: screening for ADHD, identifying comorbidities, developmental appropriateness of behaviour Narrowband Non-DSM based ADHD rating scales
Slide 62-

Rating Scales Symptom count and pervasiveness of difficulties at home and school Measuring impairment Teacher and parent report Can provide information on key impaired functional domains (for further assessment/treatment) Parent functioning
Slide 63-

Rating Scales Consider: Purpose of instrument Choice of respondents Length of time known child Familiarity with behaviours in specific setting Interrater reliability Reliability/validity of instruments Incremental validity Clinical utility
Slide 64-

Rating Scales: Engage parents Explanations of purpose Amount expected to complete Extended Inquiry!!!
Slide 65-

Functional impairment Clinically meaningful symptoms AND clinically meaningful impairment Determine if symptoms cause impairment Measuring impairment Can provide information on impaired functional domains Across contexts Teacher and parent report situational and contextual factors explored

Behavioural Observations Within clinic (analog) Two children may obtain similar scores, but one may respond impulsively without checking his answer, whereas the other one takes her time and second guesses herself Within classroom (natural) Independent observer Supplemented by teacher or parent implemented frequency counts
Slide 70-

Additional Information Anecdotal information School records Report cards Group achievement testing Individualized education program Assessment data
Slide 71-

Functional Behaviour Analysis
Slide 72-

Functional Behaviour Analysis
Slide 73-

Clinical Measures MUST have a specific goal for using a measure before you begin Explore extraneous factors or coexisting conditions Potential causes of attention problems Clarify nature and extend of child’s difficulties
Slide 74-

Psychological Processes Cognitive capacity Executive functions
Slide 75-

Psychological Processes

Psychological Processes
Slide 78-

Clinical Measures Considerations: Determine the processing demands of the tasks Psychometric properties Context being used Incremental validity Clinical utility Child’s age Area of difficulty What has already been given
Slide 79-

Clinical Measures Consider level of performance, pattern between measures, and manifestation in real world E.g., functional working memory Careful with interpretation! Medications Provision of prompts and reinforcement

Slide 82-

Incremental Validity How to conduct the most efficient and effective assessment? Child’s age Useful informants Relevant constructs
Slide 83-

Incremental Validity Uses of information Clinical utility? Does more testing give us new , useful information? Interviews and/or rating scales? Are the outcomes/purpose of the assessment met? Subset of items on a measure vs. full measure? Will observations/other methods provide information beyond rating forms? Verbally intrusive behaviors , seatwork completion/accuracy & required supplies in desk FBAs that focus on functioning vs. DSM symptoms

Potential Problems
Slide 87-

Integrating data Need to have enough: Information for diagnostic accuracy Information for diagnostic certainty Move beyond symptom count What are kids referred for? Focus assessment on specific areas of impairment Highlight strengths and challenges
Slide 88-

Linking to intervention
Slide 89-

Linking to intervention Using data to inform interventions Understanding impairment & real world outcomes Linking results to specific difficulties the child has, family needs, and referral question
Slide 90-

Linking to intervention
Slide 91-

Symptom vs. impairment “often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly”
Slide 92-

Assessment intervention Purpose: Engage in meaningful discussions about client concerns Test items can be used to invoke the issues found relevant through prior discussion/testing Test hypotheses Practice potential intervention strategies Collaborative problem-solving
Slide 93-

Third phase: Communicating the Diagnosis Influential in how parents perceive entire process Majority of parents who have expressed dissatisfaction were most dissatisfied with how the diagnosis was communicated Three major reasons: Professional manner of clinicians Context in which the diagnosis was communicated How information imparted
Slide 94-

Professional Manner
Slide 95-

Professional Manner Be careful with words used Avoid negative comments Maintain a hopeful and strengths-based approach (Congratulations!) Be direct and transparent Open and honest about child’s difficulties and needs
Slide 96-

Privacy In-person Both parents together Context
Slide 97-

Communicating the results Acknowledge anxiety/worries, questions/concerns Collaborative summary discussion Describe the measure overall No need for detailed review of test scores
Slide 98-

Communicating the results Offer a “day in the life” of the child Extent and severity of problems experienced in different areas of functioning Relationship of one problem to another Hypothesized reasons for problems How these problems affect the child
Slide 99-

Communicating the results Clear information about diagnosis How diagnosis was made (explain process etc.) Common sense definitions (i.e., what parents already likely know) Immediate and long-term implications of diagnosis Relationships between diagnoses
Slide 100-

Communicating the results Specific information as it relates to their child Relevant information about how child’s presenting difficulties relates to diagnosis What are the child’s needs/target problems Describe child vs. label Information as it relates to their family Issue concerning the affect on families (e.g., stress, marital conflict, parent psychopathology) Help them understand they may operate differently Highlight child’s strengths and abilities
Slide 101-

Communicating the results Specific information how to best support the child Appropriate, individualized, specific treatment recommendations Specific behaviour management strategies etc. How recommendations to be implemented What can be done to further insulate the child from additional problems Help them to understand the forces that affect their child
Slide 102-

Parents need to leave with a layman’s understanding of their child’s problems, their strengths, their diagnosis and recommendations
Slide 103-

Communicating collaboratively Parents reflect on how the results fit their own experience and understanding Give real-life examples to help refine the meanings of the assessment findings Through collaborative dialogue, the meaning of test results is reached By the end of the meeting, there are joint answers to the assessment questions
Slide 104-
