The CDC notes that ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. This free ADHD screening quiz is a step parents can take at home for children ages 5-17 before talking to a doctor or school.
Early identification of attention and self-regulation challenges can lead to better outcomes through timely support. This screening helps parents recognize patterns in four areas:
Sustaining attention, following instructions, finishing tasks
Restlessness, blurting, waiting turns, interrupting
Organization, time management, working memory
Home routines, school performance, social relationships
After completing the screener, you'll receive tailored guidance based on your responses, including:
Related Tool: Assess your child's overall development with our Developmental Milestone Checker, which evaluates physical, cognitive, and social milestones.
If this screening suggests your child may benefit from professional evaluation, schedule a visit with your pediatrician and talk to your child's school about supports. Early strategies can significantly improve daily functioning.
Find answers to common questions about the screening process and how to help your child.
This tool identifies potential signs of ADHD based on common clinical criteria. It is a helpful first step, but it is not a diagnostic tool. Only licensed healthcare professionals can provide an official diagnosis.
Symptoms often appear in early childhood and must be present before age 12 for diagnosis. This screening is suitable for children ages 5-17, when academic and social expectations make patterns clearer.
Schedule an appointment with your pediatrician to discuss your observations. Request input from teachers and consider a school evaluation for supports like a 504 Plan or IEP.
The screening typically takes 5-10 minutes. The quiz is adaptive: you answer 10-20 questions, and later questions depend on your earlier answers.
