Accurate diagnosis of ADHD is often difficult because approximately80% of ADHD children behave well in the doctor's office. For this reason,physicians rely heavily on feedbackfrom classroom teachers in diagnosing,medicating, and monitoring children with attention disorders.

ACTeRS is a standardized teacher rating form for grades K-8 thatobjectively measures four separate characteristics: Attention, Hyper-activity, Social Skills, and Oppositional Behavior. The reliability, validity,and utility of ACTeRS have been repeatedly demonstrated in publishedstudies and clinical trials throughout its 20-year research history. Teachersrespond to the 24 items that describe classroom behavior. These ratingsare summed and transferred to the Profile Form where norm comparisonsare read directly.
