ADHD is defined as the most common neurodevelopmental disorder. It is characterised by symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and in some cases, excessive levels of hyperactivity. ADHD can have lifelong impacts on individuals, their families and society. With early diagnosis and quality treatment, individual outcomes can be improved substantially. Caring for those who learn and think differently can take time, energy and additional resources.

The SNAP-IV is a widely-used rating scale used to screen for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. In its original form, the SNAP-IV had 90 items that evaluated hyperactivity-impulsiveness and inattention and a variety of other psychiatric symptoms. The Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Rating Scale (SNAP-IV) is a widely used scale that measures the core symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
DIAGNOSIS
DSM-5® DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR ADHD IN CHILDREN
There's no simple test to determine whether you or your child has ADHD, but your specialist can make an accurate diagnosis after a detailed assessment. The assessment may include a physical examination, which can help rule out other possible causes for the symptoms AND a series of interviews with you, your child's teachers and other roleplayers using questionnaires, e.g. SNAP-IV-26, Conners, Brief - rating scales.
