Psychology or Education professional? Hogrefe is looking for psychology and education professionals to join our team of experienced test administrators who collect standardisation data for our clinical and educational assessments. Test administrators recruit and test qualified participants and submit the data to Hogrefe for inclusion in our pilot studies, norming sample or validity studies. Test administrators work with internal staff to become fluent in administration of the tests, to understand who a qualified candidate is, and to learn the processes and procedures for collecting and submitting data.
Part of a University programme? Hogrefe wishes to collaborate with university programmes so students can practise their assessment skills and have access to data for creating publications and presentations. Programmes will be responsible for identifying and testing individuals as well as securing all associated parental permissions if required. Grant money is awarded to participating programmes and can be used at the discretion of the university. The university may keep the test kits used for the study, as well as be eligible for ongoing discounts.
Part of an organisation looking for a unique fundraising idea? Hogrefe would like to partner with your organisation to recruit and test participants as part of our assessment research studies. Schools, sports clubs, places of worship and other organisations may participate as an official research site. As a research site, programmes will distribute research flyers and recruit study participants from their membership. Organisations will receive compensation per participant recruited and tested.
ADHD and Executive Functions Rating Scales (ATENTO)
ATENTO is a multi-rater test that measures the attention and executive function skills of children and adolescents. It also assesses the level of impact their symptoms may have on family, school and social relationships. Professionals can use the results from ATENTO to develop tailored interventions to strengthen affected skills.
Used with ages 3 to 18 years old, ATENTO accurately measures ADHD symptoms and Executive Functions and helps to pinpoint specific areas of need for tailored interventions. This assessment can be used for informal screenings, as part of a formal special education evaluation, or progress monitoring to document growth. ATENTO provides scores for the main DSM-5-TR criteria (Inattention, Hyperactivity and Impulsivity) and an ADHD Risk Index, as well as a score for Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (Slow Cognitive Tempo).
Typical users would be psychologists, psychiatrists, paediatricians and other professionals who assess and diagnose children in school settings, private practices and mental health care settings.
Originally published in Spain, adaptations are being developed for the UK, US, Italy, France, Germany and Sweden. In the UK, data will be collected via online administration, which takes approximately 20 minutes.
Hogrefe is recruiting organisations who serve children and adolescents aged 3 to 18 years of age to participate in the UK standardisation of ATENTO, starting in autumn 2024.
