Attention Deficit Disorders Evaluation Scale Third Edition (ADDES-3) Stephen B. McCarney, Ed.D.
Copyright © 2004 The Attention Deficit Disorders Evaluation Scale-Third Edition (ADDES-3) enables educators, school and private psychologists, pediatricians, and other medical personnel to evaluate and diagnose Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in children and youth from input provided by primary observers of the student’s behavior. The ADDES-3 was developed from research in behavior disorders, learning disabilities, and Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder; current literature in psychology, neurology, and education; and current practices in identification and diagnosis. The subscales, Inattentive and Hyperactive-Impulsive, are based on the current subtypes of ADHD. The results provided by the scale are commensurate with criteria used by educational, psychiatric, and pediatric professionals to identify Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in children and youth. The scale is available in two versions: School Version, a reporting form for educators, and Home Version, a reporting form for parents. Internal consistency, test-retest, and inter-rater reliability; item and factor analysis; and content, diagnostic, criterion-related, and construct validity are documented and reported for the scale. Characteristics and Components of the ADDES-3 ● The ADDES-3 is based on the APA definition of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (DSM-IV™) and the criteria most widely accepted by educators and mental health professionals. ● The ADDES-3 School Version was standardized on a total of 3,903 students, including identified Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disordered students. ● The standardization sample included students from 26 states and represented all geographic regions of the United States. ● The ADDES-3 was factor analyzed to create the factor clusters (subscales). ● The ADDES-3 provides separate norms for male and female students 4.0 through 18 years of age. ● The School Version can be completed in approximately 15 minutes and includes 60 items easily observed and documented by educational personnel. ● The Home Version can be completed by a parent or guardian in approximately 12 minutes and includes 46 items representing behaviors exhibited in and around the home environment. ● The Pre-Referral Attention Deficit Checklist provides a means of calling attention to specific behaviors for the purpose of early intervention before formal assessment of the student. ● The Attention Deficit Disorders Intervention Manual, Second Edition includes IEP goals, objectives, and interventions for all 60 items on the School Version of the scale plus 90 additional behaviors. ● The ADDES-3/DSM-IV™ Form provides a comparison of the behavioral characteristics from the ADDES-3 to the Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity criteria from the DSM-IV™. ● The Parent’s Guide to Attention Deficit Disorders provides parents with specific, practical strategies to use in helping their child be more successful in the home environment. ● The ADDES-3 Quick Score computer program converts raw scores to standard and percentile scores and makes the scoring of both the School and Home Version rating forms efficient and convenient. ● The Attention Deficit Disorders Intervention Manual, Second Edition computer program provides an individualized printout of goals, objectives, and specific interventions selected for a student and implemented by teachers or personnel in the school environment. ● Spanish language Home and School Version Rating Forms are available. ● The Attention Deficit Disorders Evaluation Scale-Second Edition School Version Identified Norms (ADDES-2 SVIN) provides norms based on an identified population of ADHD students. Parental Involvement Parents of children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder are constantly asking teachers what they can do to manage their child’s behavior at home and support their child’s success at school. The Parent’s Guide to Attention Deficit Disorders (408 pages, © 1995) provides logical and useful suggestions for those parents who have been searching for solutions to their child’s problems. Using the same format as the most successful intervention manuals Hawthorne has developed for educators, parents now have hundreds of suggestions available to them to help their child who has an Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. The guide is based on behaviors from the Home Version of the Attention Deficit Disorders Evaluation Scale - Third Edition and is easily referenced by the categories of Inattentive and Hyperactive-Impulsive. The Parent’s Guide to Attention Deficit Disorders has been expanded to include 144 additional behaviors. Educational Planning The expanded Attention Deficit Disorders Intervention Manual, Second Edition (404 pages, © 1994) offers over 4,000 intervention strategies to help professionals manage 150 of the most common behavioral characteristics of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disordered students. The manual includes goals and objectives for an IEP, as well as a comprehensive collection of intervention strategies which are an absolute must for special education and regular education teachers working with students who have Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Norms based on ADHD Population The Attention Deficit Disorders Evaluation Scale-Second Edition School Version Identified Norms (ADDES-2 SVIN), © 2000, is a component of the ADDES-2 (now the ADDES-3) that provides standardized norms based on an identified ADHD population. The identified norms can assist professionals in making diagnostic decisions when those decisions are not clear cut. By comparing the student to both ADHD and non-ADHD students, professionals can determine to which group (i.e., ADHD or non-ADHD) a student’s scores are more similar. The ADDES-2 SVIN was standardized on 1,037 identified ADHD students, 5 through 18 years of age, from 24 states and represented all geographic regions of the United States. The technical manual documents internal consistency, test-retest, and inter-rater reliability; factor analysis; and construct and criterion-related validity. Complete kit includes: Pre-Referral Attention Deficit Checklists(50), Intervention Strategies Documentation Forms (50), ADDES-3 School Version Technical Manual, ADDES-3 School Version Rating Forms (50), ADDES-3 Home Version Technical Manual, ADDES-3 Home Version Rating Forms (50), ADDES-3/DSM-IV Forms (50), Attention Deficit Disorders Intervention Manual, and the Parent's Guide to Attention Deficit Disorders.
