ADD/ADHD Screening and Testing Software The BrainTrain Test Battery contains two continuous performance tests (CPTs) that provide in-depth, objective information to help the clinician diagnose and differentiate the four categories of ADD/ADHD. The IVA+Plus Continuous Performance Test and the IVA-AE (Advanced Edition) Continuous Performance Test are unique in that each test assesses both visual and auditory attention and response inhibition in one easy-to-use instrument. The IVA+Plus, which is approximately 13 minutes long, is normed for ages 6 - 96. In addition to it's proven value as a diagnostic tool for children and adults worldwide, it provides an excellent ADD/ADHD screening instrument in the school setting. The IVA-AE is the only continuous performance test produced specifically to help the clinician diagnose ADHD/ADD in adults. Normed for ages 18 - 50, the IVA-AE may be used in a short version as an ADD/ADHD screening tool or in a longer version to challenge the adult whose more subtle attention deficits may not be detected by an easier ADHD test instrument

AAP’s analysis, using the PracticeWise Evidence Based Services (PWEBS) database, determined that using these interventions significantly improves attention and reduces hyperactivity.
