Developer: EM Hallowell LLC

App size: 3.88 Mb
Do you or someone you know have trouble focusing, remembering things, and completing tasks? Is there a child in your life that has more difficulty than others staying on track? If this sounds familiar, it could be ADHD.
World-renowned ADHD expert Dr. Edward M. Hallowell brings you his easy to use application to help you determine if you or someone you know has ADHD.
This application is specifically targeted to those individuals without prior ADHD experience or diagnosis; it is not a comprehensive ADHD management system.
Dr. Hallowell will help you learn about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with two self-assessment quizzes. One quiz is statistically significant and one is aimed at allowing the user to get a better feel for ADHD and is not considered diagnostic. Quizzes are appropriate for adults and children.
If you need an introduction to ADHD, then this app is for you!
So if your inability to concentrate is causing stress in your life; if your child has trouble completing tasks in school, score yourself with the two quizzes offered in this application. Only a qualified physician can diagnose you with ADHD, but the questions contained here may help you decide whether your issues are the result of normal life stress or a real medical condition.
Great for teachers and school counselors, too!

Latest reviews of ADHD Quiz app for iPhone and iPad
It is an honor to be the first to write a review of Dr. Hallowells new app. This is a real winner. As an iPhone/iPad lover I have seen a lot of apps and this one is here to stay. I am also a Child Psychiatrist (in California) who treats ADHD and I have already begun recommending this one to my patients. Thanks!
For those of us who are relatively conversant in ADHD topics and have read Dr. Hallowells many books, this is nothing more than a short rehash of his books and an advertisement for those books and his other work. So, why is it not free, Dr. Hallowell? If you take the adult test, the comments at the end say "the more yes answers you give, the more likely you have ADHD." This is helpful?!! Likely those who download this app already suspect or know they or a loved one have ADHD. Again, if were going to pay for an app, there should be a little more bang for the buck. Yet, conveniently, there ARE some good resources listed in the app (but also in the books). For those who know NOTHING about ADHD, this may be a good value. For those with any knowledge of ADHD, its not worth it -- even as part of your library. Really, this was a disappointment.
My sons teacher recommended this app for my family and I am so glad she did. We found it simple and straightforward, very useful for several members of my family, all in one application. I plan to tell other parents in our school about this new application. Thanks Dr. Hallowell!
I like that the short test is statistically valid, but 1) I wish I could save my results and 2) I wish the long version would tell you more about whats gong on in my particular brain with regard to ADD.
This is a great preliminary ADHD diagnosis tool, with lots of extra ADHD resources and news. It wont replace a doctors diagnosis, but can be used for preliminary screening, and to determine if a doctors opinion is necessary. It consists of long and short questionnaires. The short questionnaire is statistically valid for screening for ADHD. Especially helpful for medical and educational professionals who need to screen others for ADHD. There are also good sets of ADHD resources and links, as well as up-to-date ADHD news and information. The app is well-designed and executed; appears to be bug-free.
