As a busy psychiatrist or psychologist, you may not have the time or access to important testing that can provide you with more objective data on the presenting symptoms of your patients. 

At Premier Psychological Services, we can provide you with a diagnostic and medication management tool with the T.O.V.A and T.O.V.A.–A. (Test of Variables of Attention).  We can also provide you with a comprehensive approach to screening adaptive and maladaptive functioning with Achenbach’s empirically based assessment using an integrated set of rating forms for ages 1 ½  to 90.

1.  The T.O.V.A test can be used:

• As a measure of visual and auditory information processing in neurological injuries and disorders
• As a diagnostic tool, as part of a multifaceted, multi-disciplinary assessment of children, teenagers and adults who may have an attention problem
• To measure response to medication
• To measure optimal dosage level
• To monitor medication and other treatments over time.
• To help differentiate ADHD from learning and emotional/behavioral disorders.

T.O.V.A facts:

• Excellent test-retest reliability. 
• Vigilance and disinhibition subtests
• Measures inattention, impulsivity/disinhibition, response time, variability, anticipatory responses.

T.O.V.A. Testing Session fee:  $95.

2.  Child Behavior Checklists, Youth Self Report, Adult Self Report and Adult Behavior Checklists

These will provide you with an assessment of adaptive and maladaptive functioning among children, teenagers and adults.  You can relate results directly to the DSM-IV-TR by using the normed DSM-oriented scales.  Internalizing, Externalizing, Adaptive functioning and syndrome scale scores are also provided.  Computer generated profiles with a narrative report are provided to you within two days from the time your patient completes the forms and returns them to our office for scoring.

Behavioral Forms/Report fee (CBCL, YSR, ASR, ABCL):  $50 per report.  (no minimum)

If you wish to obtain more objective clinical data on the attentional, behavioral and emotional symptoms, please call us or refer your patients for the following tests.  Once your patient completes the test(s), we will forward to you (usually the same day) the computer-generated analysis and interpretations for you to review as part of your clinical assessment to help further guide your treatment plan.
