 What is a QB Check in ADHD Assessments?

The QB Check is an advanced, evidence-based tool used to support the assessment and diagnosis of ADHD. It is a computerised test that measures three core areas linked to ADHD: attention, impulsivity, and activity level. By gathering objective data, the QB Check provides a more in-depth look at behavioural patterns, adding valuable insight into the overall assessment process.

How Does the QB Check Work?

During the test, the individual performs a series of tasks on a computer, designed to measure their responses to visual stimuli. The system tracks:

• Response times (to assess attention),

• Accuracy (to evaluate impulsivity), and

• Movement (to measure hyperactivity) 

The test results are then compared with a control group of individuals of the same age and gender who do not have ADHD. This comparison allows clinicians to see whether the individual’s behaviour aligns with typical ADHD patterns.

Why is the QB Check Useful?

The QB Check is a useful addition to ADHD assessments because it provides objective, data-driven evidence to support clinical observations, behavioural reports, and rating scales. ADHD can often be diagnosed based on subjective information from interviews and reports, but the QB Check offers a measurable and unbiased layer of data. This extra detail can help clinicians make more informed and confident diagnoses.

Why Isn’t the QB Check Always Included?

Many ADHD assessment providers do not include the QB Check as a standard part of their assessment process. It is often seen as an optional add-on, which can come at a significant additional cost. This means that some people may miss out on the added clarity the QB Check can provide due to the high price tag attached to it when accessed elsewhere.
