The rate of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis has jumped 15 percent in the last six years according to recent data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The NICHQ Vanderbilt Assessment Scale, developed through the ADHD Learning Collaborative, remains a foremost tool for helping healthcare professionals diagnose the disease. We recently invited Mark Wolraich, MD, from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, the creator of the Vanderbilt Rating Scales (from which the NICHQ version was adapted), to share the story of the scales development, utility and their continued relevancy. - See more at: http://nichq.org/blog/2015/august/adhd_wolraich#sthash.ALrAFP9A.dpuf
