I found this post on assigned seat blog:" I was just given a form I'd never seen before. It's entitled "ADHD RATING SCALE IV - SCHOOL EDITION." I am to return it completed concerning a student in about an hour. There are 18 different statements concerning behavior and a scale of 0, 1, 2, and 3.
0 == "never or rarely" 1 == "sometimes" 2 == "often" 3 == "very often"
1. Fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork.
2. Fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in seat
3. Has difficulty sustaining attentino in tasks or play activities.
4. Leaves seat in classroom or in other situations in which remaining seated is expected.
5. Does not seem to listen when spoken to directly
6. Runs about or climbs excessively in situations in which it is inappropriate
7. Does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish work.
8. Has difficulty playing or engaging in leisure activities quietly.
9. Has difficulty organizing tasks and activities.
10. Is "on the go" or acts as if "driven by a motor."
11. Avoids tasks (e.g. schoolwork, homework) that require sustained mental effort.
12. Talks excessively.
13. Loses things necessary for tasks or activities.
14. Blurts out answers before questions have been completed.
15. Is easily distracted.
16. Has difficulty awaiting turn.
17. Is forgetful in daily activities.
18. Interrupts or intrudes on others"
Good reminder that it's all about child... and teacher's "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder".
