We use the IVA-2 Continuous Performance Test (CPT), a computerized assessment that measures aspects of visual and auditory attention and response control. The IVA-2 provides objective data about patterns of performance that may be associated with difficulties involving sustained attention, impulsivity, consistency, and response control.

The IVA-2 is used alongside your comprehensive clinical evaluation, developmental and medical history, current symptoms, functional impairment, standardized rating scales, and other relevant information.

Computerized testing does not diagnose or rule out ADHD on its own. Your IVA-2 results are reviewed and interpreted by your psychiatric provider as one component of the comprehensive diagnostic evaluation.
