Neuro-Ed Assessment and Screeners are fast and effective assessment forms for busy mental health and educational professionals. These practical assessments were created by practitioners who know the needs of professionals working in the field. The purpose of these assessments is to evaluate school-aged students for various disorders and difficulties as quickly and accurately as possible. These screeners provide a 360- degree view of a student's problem by utilizing parent, staff, and student rating forms. Professionals can choose individual 'one-page' screeners for the most common disorders such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, executive function, autism, learning disabilities, processing speed, memory and social / emotional learning problems in less than five minutes per form.

REVIEWS and WORDS OF PRAISE

The Neuro-Ed rating scales give educators the opportunity to quickly identify student difficulties in the areas of anxiety, depression, social skills, and attention. These scales provide an efficient and effective screen for identification of problematic areas.

Sandi Rohde, MSW, License Clinical Social Worker

The Neuro-Ed rating scales are extremely quick and very helpful identifying student difficulties. For example, I use the Anxiety ratings scales to screen for students that may experience social or emotional difficulties related to stress intolerance. This assessment accurately identifies student needs in half the time when compared to other tools I have administered. The information provided by the Neuro-Ed rating scale is precise and invaluable.

Amy Freeman, MSW, Licensed Social Worker

Using the Neuro-Ed Autism Screener has been quick, effective, and reliable when working with students and teachers. It is an invaluable tool that helps guide clinical and practical thinking. I would recommend it to anyone as it is user friendly and efficient.
