ADHD-RS-5 Rating Configuration for Neurofeedback Outcomes

ADHD Rating Scale-5 (ADHD-RS-5) is a brief DSM-5-linked parent and teacher rating configuration for practitioners evaluating ADHD-focused neurofeedback. It helps assign home or school forms, track completion, and review setting-specific symptom and impairment scores from baseline to follow-up when valid scoring is available.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

Home And School Stay Distinct

Home and school results should not be merged into one vague score because setting differences are part of the tool's value.

Symptoms And Impairment

The review should show symptom and impairment information where valid scoring supports both.

Comparison Limits

Baseline without follow-up supports only a baseline profile, and follow-up without matching baseline should not produce change claims.

Does ADHD-RS-5 include youth self-report in this configuration?

No. The supplied configuration supports parent and teacher reports, not youth self-report.

Can incomplete forms be scored?

No. Incomplete forms should be saved as incomplete and should not produce complete score profiles.

Are home and school scores combined?

No. Home and school contexts remain separate unless a valid scoring rule supports a specific combined output.

Does the tool diagnose ADHD?

No. It supports rating collection, scoring when valid rules are available, and practitioner review.
