Re: t.o.v.a. test scores
My son took this but i never was given a numerical score-I was shown bar graphs of what would be typical for his age and gender and where he was.
He had slow processing(associated with ADD) and 5 mg adderall upped his processing into low normal ranges(he regualrly takes 10mg now)
Was he given a test with and without meds?
I have never heard of this test, so I looked it up! As I am sure you know it is a used “…. as a screen for students suspected of having ADHD or learning problems; as a diagnostic tool as part of a multi-disciplinary assessment of children and adults who may have attention deficit; and as an aid in helping to determine the dosage level and to monitor the use of medication over time.”
I read a review of the TOVA at:
http://alpha.fdu.edu/psychology/cpt_review.htm
It was pretty intersting.
I also read that they should have given you more than just that one score, like Raw Scores, Standard Scores, Standard Deviations. Did you get anything else??
