Vanderbilt ADHD Rating Scale

The Vanderbilt Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Rating Scale, developed by Mark Wolraich and colleagues in 2003, is a validated screening instrument for identifying ADHD symptoms and comorbid behavioral/emotional problems in children aged 6–12 years. Available in parent and teacher versions, it is widely used in primary care, pediatrics, and developmental clinics for initial ADHD screening and symptom tracking during treatment.
