The
Claudia Black Young Adult Centers has incorporated the Test of
Variables of Attention (T.O.V.A.) to its assessment protocol. This
initiative brings an objective functional measure to inform its
clinical assessment with regard to the differential diagnosis and
treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
"Using
the T.O.V.A is a critical piece to comprehensive assessments to
address such complexity of symptoms and behaviors in our clients. It
raises our high standard of service to an even greater level," says

Adult Center and renowned speaker and author who has been working

Essentially,
T.O.V.A. is a computerized test of attention that assists in the
screening, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring of attention
disorders, such as ADHD. The introduction of T.O.V.A. complements the
multidisciplinary clinical assessment developed by nursing, general
medicine and addictions specialists, along with the psychotherapy and
psychiatry staff at the Claudia Black Young Adult Center. This new
corroborative psychological testing that was by recommended Dr. James
Cahill of the Claudia Black Young Adult Center helps to better
understand each patient as an individual.
Many
of the young adults presenting to the Claudia Black Young Adult
Center report either a history of a prior diagnosis of ADHD/ADD
(often with associated trials of medication treatment) or ongoing
prominent symptoms of distractibility, impulsivity, restlessness,
poor frustration tolerance, and inconsistent task completion. This
report often accompanies a history of substance use disorders,
relational trauma, anxiety disorders, and mood dysregulation. The
symptoms of ADHD may at times be directly due to a substance
withdrawal syndrome, the consequences of trauma or a mood disorder
itself. The presence of such comorbidity complicates the diagnostic
process and necessitates a careful consideration of the specifics
unique to each individual's clinical presentation.
