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.

American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes efficacy of neurofeedback and working
memory training in the treatment of ADHD
Based on a recent
analysis of evidence-based studies, the American
Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has now recognized
neurofeedback (EEG brainwave biofeedback) and
working memory training as clinically
efficacious in the treatment of children and
adolescents with attention and hyperactivity
disorders. AAP’s analysis, using the
PracticeWise Evidence Based Services (PWEBS)
database, determined that using these
interventions significantly improves attention
and reduces hyperactivity.
Review AAP’s analysis.
For the past 21 years, BrainTrain
has pioneered the development of cognitive
rehabilitation and neurofeedback software to
improve working memory, attention and mental
processing speed. In a $1.3M Duke University
study funded by the Department of Education, 64%
of students who began the study in the 1st grade
with 6 or more inattentive symptoms were
symptom-free (0 or 1 symptom) in the 2nd grade
after only 20 hours of attention training using
the Captain’s Log® system.
Read the full study.
