Conners 3–P Assessment Report for Rosa J Admin Date:
05/01/2007
Introduction
The following section provides the parent’s scores for the
Positive and Negative Impression scales and the
Inconsistency Index.
Assessment of Validity
Raw score = 0 (Probably valid)
The Positive Impression score does not suggest an overly
positive response style.
Positive Impression
Raw score = 0 (Probably valid)
The Negative Impression score does not suggest an overly
negative response style.
Negative Impression
Raw score = 2, Number of absolute differences ≥ 2 = 0
(Probably valid)
The responses to similar items are consistent with one another.
Inconsistency Index
The Conners 3rd Edition–Parent (Conners 3–P) is an assessment
tool used to obtain the parent’s
observations about the youth’s behavior. This instrument is
designed to assess Attention
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its most common
co-morbid problems in children and adolescents
aged 6 to 18 years old. When used in combination with other
information, results from the Conners 3–P can
provide valuable information for guiding assessment decisions.
This report provides information about the
parent's assessment of the youth, how she compares to other
youth, and which scales and subscales are
elevated. See the Conners 3 Manual (published by MHS) for
more information.
This computerized report is an interpretive aid and should not
be given to clients or be used as the sole
criterion for clinical diagnosis or intervention. Administrators
are cautioned against drawing unsupported
interpretations. Combining information from this report with
information gathered from other psychometric
measures, interviews, observations, and review of available
records will give the assessor or service
provider a more comprehensive view of the youth than might be
obtained from any one source. This report is
based on an algorithm that produces the most common
interpretations for the scores that have been
obtained. Administrators should review the client’s responses to
specific items to ensure that these typical
interpretations apply to the youth being described.

Conners 3–P Content Scales: Detailed Scores
The following table summarizes the results of the parent’s
assessment of Rosa J and provides general
information about how she compares to the normative group.
Please refer to the Conners 3 Manual for more
information on the interpretation of these results. Caution:
please note that T-score cutoffs are guidelines
only and may vary depending on the context of the assessment.
T-scores from 57–63 should be considered
borderline and of special note, since the assessor must decide
(based on other information and knowledge
of the youth) whether or not the concerns in the associated area
warrant clinical intervention.

DSM-IV-TR Overview
This section of the report provides the following information for
each DSM-IV-TR diagnosis on the Conners
3–P:
1. DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales: T-scores
2. DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales: Detailed scores
3. DSM-IV-TR Total Symptom Counts
4. DSM-IV-TR Symptom tables
· Listing of Conners 3–P item(s) that correspond to each DSM-
IV-TR Symptom
· Criterion status of each DSM-IV-TR Symptom (i.e., whether
or not the symptom is
"indicated," "may be indicated," or "not indicated"). Symptoms
marked indicated or may be
indicated are summed to get the Total Symptom Count for that
diagnosis. Please refer to
specific DSM-IV-TR Symptom tables for each criterion status
and for any exception that
may alter the Total Symptom Count. See the Conners 3 Manual
for details on how each
criterion status is determined.
Interpretive Considerations
Results from the Conners 3–P are a useful component of DSM-
IV-TR based diagnosis, but cannot be
relied upon in isolation. When interpreting the Conners 3–P
DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales, the assessor
should take the following important considerations into account.
Please refer to the Conners 3 Manual for
further interpretative guidelines.
· The Conners 3–P contains symptom-level criteria, not full
diagnostic criteria, for DSM-IV-TR
diagnoses. Additional criteria (e.g., course, age of onset,
differential diagnosis, level of impairment,
pervasiveness) must be met before a DSM-IV-TR diagnosis can
be assigned.
· The Conners 3–P items are approximations of the DSM-IV-TR
Symptoms that are intended to
represent the main clinical construct in a format that most
parents can understand. As a result, some
aspects of the DSM-IV-TR criteria may not be fully represented.
Before using any diagnostic labels, the
assessor must consider all criteria that are required for a DSM-
IV-TR diagnosis, including the
symptoms from the Conners 3–P.
· The Conners 3–P provides information relevant to the DSM-
IV-TR diagnoses from two different
perspectives: absolute (Symptom Count) and relative (T-score).
Results from the DSM-IV-TR Symptom
Counts can contribute to the consideration of whether a
particular DSM-IV-TR diagnosis might be
appropriate. A T-score for each DSM-IV-TR diagnosis
facilitates comparison of this individual’s
symptoms with his/her peers. At times, there may be
discrepancies between the Symptom Count and T-
score for a given diagnosis. This is to be expected, since they
are based on different metrics (i.e.,
absolute versus relative). The following points provide some
concrete guidelines for the interpretation
of this pair of scores (DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count and T-
score).
· Both scores are elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count
probably met, DSM-IV-TR T-
score ³ 60): This diagnosis should be given strong
consideration.
· Both scores are average or below (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom
Count probably not met,
DSM-IV-TR T-score < 60): It is unlikely that the diagnosis is
currently present (although
criteria may have been met in the past).
· Only Symptom Count is elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom
Count probably met, DSM-
IV-TR T-score < 60): Although the absolute DSM-IV-TR
symptomatic criteria may have
been met, the current presentation is not atypical for this age
and gender. Consider
whether the symptoms are present in excess of developmental
expectations (an
important requirement of DSM-IV-TR diagnosis).
· Only T-score is elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count
probably not met, DSM-IV-TR
T-score ³ 60): Although the current presentation is atypical for
the youth's age and
gender, there are not enough symptoms reported to meet DSM-
IV-TR symptomatic
criteria for this disorder. Consider alternative explanations for
why the T-scores could be
elevated in the absence of this diagnosis (e.g., another diagnosis
may be producing
these types of concerns in that particular setting).

how she compares to the normative group.
Please refer to the Conners 3 Manual for more information on
the interpretation of these results. Caution:
please note that T-score cutoffs are guidelines only and may
vary depending on the context of the
assessment. T-scores from 57–63 should be considered

Conners 3–P Results and IDEA
The Conners 3–P provides information that may be useful to
consider when determining whether a student
is eligible for special education and related services under
current U.S. federal statutes, such as the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of
2004 (IDEA 2004).
Elevated scores on the Conners 3–P may indicate the need for
special education and related services. The
following table summarizes areas of IDEA 2004 eligibility that
are typically listed for children and
adolescents who have elevated scores on various portions of the
Conners 3–P. Checkmarks indicate which
areas of the Conners 3–P were indicated or endorsed, suggesting
possible consideration of IDEA 2004
eligibility in related areas. The information in this table is
based on the IDEA 2004 and general
interpretation/application of this federal law. Specific state and
local education agencies may have specific
requirements that supersede these recommendations. The
assessor is encouraged to consult local policies
that may impact decision making. Remember that elevated
scores or even a diagnosis is not sufficient
justification for IDEA 2004 eligibility. Finally, keep in mind
that the IDEA 2004 clearly indicates that
categorization is not required for provision of services. Please
see the Conners 3 Manual for further
discussion of the IDEA 2004 and its relation to the Conners 3–P
content.

This feedback handout explains scores from parent ratings of
this youth’s behaviors and feelings as
assessed by the Conners 3–Parent form (Conners 3–P). This
section of the report may be given to
parents (caregivers) or to a third party upon parental consent.
What is the Conners 3?
The Conners 3 is a set of rating scales that are used to gather
information about the behaviors and feelings
of children and adolescents. These rating scales can be
completed by parents, teachers, and youth. The
Conners 3 forms were developed by Dr. Conners, an expert in
child and adolescent behavior, and are used
all over the world to assess youth from many cultures. Research
has shown that the Conners 3 scales are
reliable and valid, which means that you can trust the scores
that are produced by the parent’s ratings.
Why do parents complete the Conners 3?
Information from parents (or guardians) about their child’s
behavior and feelings is extremely important, as
parents generally know their child better than anyone else.
Parents can describe their child’s behaviors in a
number of different situations, including the home and
community.
The most common reason for using the Conners 3 is to better
understand a youth who is having difficulty,
and to determine how to help. The Conners 3 can also be used to
make sure that treatment services are
helping, or to see if the youth is improving. Sometimes the
Conners 3 is used for a routine check, even if
there is no reason to suspect the youth is struggling with a
problem. If you are not sure why you were asked
to complete the Conners 3, please ask the assessor listed at the
top of this feedback form.
How does the Conners 3 work?
The parent read 110 items and decided how well each statement
described Rosa J, or how often Rosa J
displayed each behavior in the past month (“Not at all/never,”
“Just a little true/occasionally,” “Pretty much
true/often,” or “Very much true/very frequently”). The parent’s
responses to these 110 statements were
combined into several groups of items. Each group of items
describes a certain type of behavior (for
example, inattention, aggression). The parent’s responses were
compared with what is expected for 7-year-
old girls. The scores for each group of items show how similar
Rosa J is to her peers. This information helps
the assessor know if Rosa J is having more difficulty in a
certain area than 7-year-old girls.
Results from the Conners 3–Parent Form
The assessor who asked the parent to complete the Conners 3
will help explain these results and answer
any questions you might have. Remember, these scores were
calculated from how the parent described
Rosa J in the past month. The parent ratings help the assessor
know how Rosa J acts at home and in the
community. The results from parent ratings on the Conners 3
should be combined with other important
information, such as interviews with Rosa J and her parent,
other test results, and observations of Rosa J.
All of the combined information is used to determine if Rosa J
needs help in a certain area and what kind of
help is needed.
As you go through the results, it is very helpful to share any
additional insights that you might have, make
notes, and freely discuss the results with the assessor. If the
scores do not make sense to you, you should
let the assessor know so that you can discuss other possible
explanations.

SAMPLE
Conners 3–P Assessment Report for Rosa J Admin Date:
05/01/2007
The parent’s responses to the 110 items were combined into
groups of possible problem areas. The
following table lists the main topics covered by the Conners 3–
Parent form. These scores were compared
with other 7-year-old girls. This table gives you information
about whether the parent described typical or
average levels of concern (that is, “not an area of concern”) or
if the parent described “more concerns than
average” for 7-year-old girls. This table also gives you a short
description of the types of difficulties that are
included in each possible problem area. Rosa J may not show all
of the problems in an area; it is possible to
have “more concerns than average” even if only some of the
problems are happening. It is also possible that
a parent may have described typical or average levels of
concern, even if Rosa J is showing some of the
problems in an area.
It is important to discuss these results with the assessor listed at
the top of this feedback handout. This
feedback handout describes results only from the Conners 3–
Parent form. A checkmark in the “more
concerns than average” box does not necessarily mean that Rosa
J has a serious problem and is in need of
treatment. Conners 3 results must be combined with information
from other sources and be confirmed by a
qualified clinician before a conclusion is made that an actual
problem exists.

Conners 3–SR Assessment Report for Maggie R Admin Date:
01/15/2007
Introduction
The following section provides Maggie R’s scores for the
Positive and Negative Impression scales and the
Inconsistency Index.
Assessment of Validity
Raw score = 0 (Probably valid)
The Positive Impression score does not suggest an overly
positive response style.
Positive Impression
Raw score = 4 (Probably invalid)
The Negative Impression score indicates a response style which
can affect validity of the results. Often, a
high Negative Impression score indicates an overly negative
description of the youth’s behavior, but there
are other reasons why the Negative Impression score may be
elevated. You may wish to review individual
items used in calculating the Negative Impression score to
consider possible reasons why this score is
elevated. In the context of an elevated Negative Impression
score, results from the Conners 3–SR may be
an overestimation of Maggie R’s difficulties.
Negative Impression
Raw score = 7, Number of absolute differences ≥ 2 = 2
(Probably valid)
The responses to similar items are consistent with one another.
Inconsistency Index
The Conners 3rd Edition–Self-Report (Conners 3–SR) is an
assessment tool that prompts the youth to
provide valuable information about herself. This instrument is
designed to assess Attention
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its most common
co-morbid problems in children and adolescents
aged 8 to 18 years old. When used in combination with other
information, results from the Conners 3–SR
can provide valuable information to guide assessment decisions.
This report provides information about the
youth’s score, how she compares to other youth, and which
scales are elevated. See the Conners 3 Manual
(published by MHS) for more information.
This computerized report is an interpretive aid and should not
be given to clients or used as the sole criterion
for clinical diagnosis or intervention. Administrators are
cautioned against drawing unsupported
interpretations. Combining information from this report with
information gathered from other psychometric
measures, interviews, observations, and review of available
records will give the assessor or service
provider a more comprehensive view of the youth than might be
obtained from any one source. This report is
based on an algorithm that produces the most common
interpretations for the scores that have been
obtained. Administrators should review the client’s responses to
specific items to ensure that these typical
interpretations apply to the youth being described.

Conners 3–SR Assessment Report for Maggie R Admin Date:

DSM-IV-TR Overview
This section of the report provides the following information for
each DSM-IV-TR diagnosis on the Conners
3–SR:
1. DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales: T-scores
2. DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales: Detailed Scores
3. DSM-IV-TR Total Symptom Counts
4. DSM-IV-TR Symptom Tables
· Listing of Conners 3–SR item(s) that correspond to each DSM-
IV-TR Symptom
· Criterion status of each DSM-IV-TR Symptom (i.e, whether or
not the symptom is
"indicated," "may be indicated," or "not indicated"). Symptoms
marked indicated or may be
indicated are summed to get the Total Symptom Count for that
diagnosis. Please refer to
specific DSM-IV-TR Symptom tables for each criterion status
and for any exception that may
alter the Total Symptom Count. See the Conners 3 Manual for
details on how each criterion
status is determined.
Interpretive Considerations
Results from the Conners 3–SR are a useful component of DSM-
IV-TR based diagnosis, but cannot be
relied upon in isolation. When interpreting the Conners 3–SR
DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales, the assessor
should take the following important considerations into account.
Please refer to the Conners 3 Manual for
further interpretative guidelines.
· The Conners 3–SR contains symptom-level criteria, not full
diagnostic criteria for DSM-IV-TR
diagnoses. Additional criteria (e.g., course, age of onset,
differential diagnosis, level of impairment,
pervasiveness) must be met before a DSM-IV-TR diagnosis can
be assigned.
· The Conners 3–SR items are approximations of the DSM-IV-
TR Symptoms that are intended to
represent the main clinical construct in a format that most youth
can understand. As a result, some
aspects of the DSM-IV-TR criteria may not be fully represented.
Before using any diagnostic labels, the
assessor must consider all criteria that are required for a DSM-
IV-TR diagnosis, including the
symptoms from the Conners 3–SR.
· The Conners 3–SR provides information relevant to the DSM-
IV-TR diagnoses from two different
perspectives: absolute (Symptom Count) and relative (T-score).
Results of the DSM-IV-TR Symptom
Counts can contribute to consideration of whether a particular
DSM-IV-TR diagnosis might be
appropriate. A T-score for each DSM-IV-TR diagnosis
facilitates comparison of this individual’s
symptoms with his or her peers. At times there may be
discrepancies between the Symptom Count
and T-score for a given diagnosis. This is to be expected, given
that they are based on different
metrics (i.e., absolute versus relative). The following points
provide some concrete guidelines for
interpretation of this pair of scores (DSM-IV-TR Symptom
Count and T-score).
· Both scores are elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count
probably met, DSM-IV-TR T-
score ³ 60): This diagnosis should be given strong
consideration.
· Both scores are average or below (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom
Count probably not met,
DSM-IV-TR T-score < 60): It is unlikely that the diagnosis is
currently present (although
criteria may have been met in the past).
· Only Symptom Count is elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom
Count probably met, DSM-
IV-TR T-score < 60): Although the absolute DSM-IV-TR
symptomatic criteria may have
been met, the current presentation is not atypical for this age
and gender. Consider
whether the symptoms are present in excess of developmental
expectations (an
important requirement of DSM-IV-TR diagnosis).
· Only T-score is elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count
probably not met, DSM-IV-TR
T-score ³ 60): Although the current presentation is atypical for
the youth's age and
gender, there are not sufficient symptoms reported to meet
DSM-IV-TR symptomatic
criteria for this disorder. Consider alternative explanations for
why the T-scores could be
elevated in the absence of this diagnosis (e.g., another diagnosis
may be producing
these types of concerns in that particular setting).

DSM-IV-TR Symptom Scales: T-scores
The following graph provides T-scores for each of the DSM-IV-
TR Symptom scales. The error bars on each
bar represent Standard Error of Measurement for each DSM-IV-
TR Symptom scale score.
DSM-IV-TR Symptom Scales: Detailed Scores
The following table summarizes the results of Maggie R's self-
assessment with respect to the DSM-IV-TR
Symptom scales, and provides general information about how
she compares to the normative group. Please
refer to the Conners 3 Manual for more information on the
interpretation of these results. Caution: please
note that T-score cutoffs are guidelines only and may vary
depending on the context of assessment. T-scores
from 57–63 should be considered borderline and of special note
since the assessor must decide (based on
other information and knowledge of the youth) whether or not
the concerns in the associated area warrant

Conners 3–SR Results and IDEA
The Conners 3–SR provides information that may be useful to
consider when determining whether a student
is eligible for special education and related services under
current U.S. federal statutes, such as the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of
2004 (IDEA 2004).
Elevated scores on the Conners 3–SR may indicate the need for
special education and related services.
The following table summarizes areas of IDEA 2004 eligibility
that are typically listed for children and
adolescents who have elevated scores on various portions of the
Conners 3–SR. Checkmarks indicate
which areas of the Conners 3–SR were indicated or endorsed,
suggesting possible consideration of IDEA
2004 eligibility in related areas. The information in this table is
based on the IDEA 2004 and general
interpretation/application of this federal law. Specific state and
local education agencies may have specific
requirements that supersede these recommendations. The
assessor is encouraged to consult local policies
that may impact decision making. Remember that elevated
scores or even a diagnosis is not sufficient
justification for IDEA 2004 eligibility. Finally, keep in mind
that the IDEA 2004 clearly indicates that
categorization is not required for provision of services. Please
see the Conners 3 Manual for further
discussion of the IDEA 2004 and its relation to the Conners 3–
SR content.

This feedback handout explains scores from ratings of this
youth’s behaviors and feelings as
assessed by the Conners 3–Self-Report Form (Conners 3–SR).
This section of the report may be
given to parents (caregivers) or to a third party upon parental
consent.
What is the Conners 3?
The Conners 3 is a set of rating scales that are used to gather
information about the behaviors and feelings
of children and adolescents. These rating scales can be
completed by parents, teachers, and youth. The
Conners forms were developed by Dr. Conners, an expert in
child and adolescent behavior, and are used all
over the world to assess youth from many cultures. Research
has shown that the Conners scales are
reliable and valid, which means that you can trust the scores
that are produced by the youth’s ratings.
Why do youth complete the Conners 3?
Information from youth about his or her own behavior and
feelings is extremely important, as the youth
knows how he or she feels better than anyone else. Self-reports
provide invaluable information about the
youth’s own perceptions, feelings, and attitudes about his or her
behavior that parents and teachers may not
be aware of. Unlike parent and teacher ratings which provide
information about either home or school
settings, youth are able to give information about their feelings
and behaviors across settings and situations.
They know how they feel and behave all of the time.
The most common reason for using the Conners 3 scales is to
better understand a youth who is having
difficulty, and to determine how to help. The Conners 3 scales
can also be used to make sure that treatment
services are helping, or to see if the youth is improving.
Sometimes the Conners 3 scales are used for a
routine check, even if there is no reason to suspect the youth is
struggling with a problem. If you are not
sure why the youth was asked to complete the Conners 3, please
ask the assessor listed at the top of this
feedback form.
How does the Conners 3 work?
Maggie R read 99 items, and decided how well each statement
described herself, or how often each
behavior happened in the past month (“not at all/never,” “just a
little true/occasionally,” “pretty much
true/often,” or “very much true/very frequently”). Maggie R’s
responses to these 99 statements were
combined into several groups of items. Each group of items
describes a certain type of behavior (for
example, inattention, aggression). Maggie R’s responses were
compared with what is expected for 16-year-
old girls. The scores for each group of items show how similar
Maggie R is to her peers. This information
helps the assessor know if Maggie R is having more difficulty
in a certain area than other 16-year-old girls.
Results from the Conners 3–Self-Report Form
The assessor who asked Maggie R to complete the Conners 3
will help explain these results and answer
any questions you might have. Remember, these scores were
calculated from how Maggie R described
herself in the past month. The self-report ratings help the
assessor know how Maggie R acts at home, in
school, and in the community. The results from the self-report
ratings on the Conners 3 should be combined
with other important information, such as interviews with
Maggie R and her parent, other test results, and
observations of Maggie R. All of the combined information is
used to determine if Maggie R needs help in a
certain area and what kind of help is needed.
As you go through the results, it is very helpful to share any
additional insights that you might have, make
notes, and freely discuss the results with the assessor. If the
scores do not make sense to you, you should
let the assessor know so that you can discuss other possible
explanations.

Conners 3–SR Assessment Report for Maggie R Admin Date:
01/15/2007
Maggie R’s responses to the 99 items were combined into
groups of possible problem areas. The following
table lists the main topics covered by the Conners 3–Self-Report
Form. These scores were compared with
other 16-year-old girls. This gives you information about
whether Maggie R described typical or average
levels of concern (that is, “not an area of concern”) or if she
described “more concerns than average” for 16-
year-old girls. The table also gives you a short description of
the types of difficulties that are included in each
possible problem area. Maggie R may not show all of the
problems in an area; it is possible to have “more
concerns than average” even if only some of the problems are
happening. Also, it is possible that Maggie R
may describe typical or average levels of concern even if
Maggie R is showing some of the problems in an
area.
It is important to discuss these results with the assessor listed at
the top of this feedback handout. This
feedback handout describes results only from the Conners 3
Self-Report form. A checkmark in the “more
concerns than average” box does not necessarily mean that
Maggie R has a serious problem and is in need
of treatment. Conners 3 results must be combined with
information from other sources and be confirmed by
a qualified clinician before a conclusion that an actual problem
exists is made.

Rosa Jones
Rosa Jones is a 7-year-old African-American female in the
second grade. She is the oldest of three children, with siblings
aged 5 and 1 year old. She lives with her siblings and parents,
and has recently moved to this school district from out of state.
Rosa’s father asked the school district to see if she could be
tested for issues that may make learning more difficult for her.
He describes Rosa as a quiet and sweet child, but sees that her
grades have fallen. Rosa’s father completed the Conners 3 –
Parent Assessment as part of the process. In a clinical
interview, Rosa’s father noted that she has difficulty paying
attention not only in school but occasionally at home and when
she is playing with her friends. He noted that Rosa has strengths
in being inventive and thoughtful.
Maggie Raj
Maggie Raj is a 16-year-old Asian-American female in the
11th grade. She is the younger of two children, with her sibling
being 20 years old and away at college. Maggie lives with her
parents and grandmother and has been a student in this school
district since Pre-K. Maggie’s parents and teachers noticed her
grades slipping and that she seemed to be “off somewhere else”
at times when they tried to talk to her. In her clinical interview,
Maggie noted that she feels “fine” and just finds it hard to
concentrate sometimes. She told the interviewer that her
strengths are her kindness and her artistic skills.

Box 950, North Tonawanda, NY 14120-0950 3770 Victoria Park Ave., Toronto, ON M2H 3M6 This Assessment report is intended for use by qualified assessors only, and is not to be shown or presented to the respondent or any other unqualified individuals. Assessment Report SAMPLE Conners 3–P Assessment Report for Rosa J Admin Date: 05/01/2007 Introduction The following section provides the parent’s scores for the Positive and Negative Impression scales and the Inconsistency Index. Assessment of Validity Raw score = 0 (Probably valid) The Positive Impression score does not suggest an overly
  • 2. positive response style. Positive Impression Raw score = 0 (Probably valid) The Negative Impression score does not suggest an overly negative response style. Negative Impression Raw score = 2, Number of absolute differences ≥ 2 = 0 (Probably valid) The responses to similar items are consistent with one another. Inconsistency Index The Conners 3rd Edition–Parent (Conners 3–P) is an assessment tool used to obtain the parent’s observations about the youth’s behavior. This instrument is designed to assess Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its most common co-morbid problems in children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years old. When used in combination with other information, results from the Conners 3–P can provide valuable information for guiding assessment decisions. This report provides information about the parent's assessment of the youth, how she compares to other youth, and which scales and subscales are elevated. See the Conners 3 Manual (published by MHS) for more information. This computerized report is an interpretive aid and should not be given to clients or be used as the sole criterion for clinical diagnosis or intervention. Administrators are cautioned against drawing unsupported interpretations. Combining information from this report with
  • 3. information gathered from other psychometric measures, interviews, observations, and review of available records will give the assessor or service provider a more comprehensive view of the youth than might be obtained from any one source. This report is based on an algorithm that produces the most common interpretations for the scores that have been obtained. Administrators should review the client’s responses to specific items to ensure that these typical interpretations apply to the youth being described.

Conners 3–P Assessment Report for Rosa J Admin Date: 05/01/2007 Conners 3–P Content Scales: Detailed Scores The following table summarizes the results of the parent’s assessment of Rosa J and provides general information about how she compares to the normative group. Please refer to the Conners 3 Manual for more information on the interpretation of these results. Caution: please note that T-score cutoffs are guidelines only and may vary depending on the context of the assessment. T-scores from 57–63 should be considered borderline and of special note, since the assessor must decide (based on other information and knowledge of the youth) whether or not the concerns in the associated area warrant clinical intervention.

  • 7. DSM-IV-TR Overview This section of the report provides the following information for each DSM-IV-TR diagnosis on the Conners 3–P: 1. DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales: T-scores 2. DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales: Detailed scores 3. DSM-IV-TR Total Symptom Counts 4. DSM-IV-TR Symptom tables · Listing of Conners 3–P item(s) that correspond to each DSM- IV-TR Symptom · Criterion status of each DSM-IV-TR Symptom (i.e., whether or not the symptom is "indicated," "may be indicated," or "not indicated"). Symptoms marked indicated or may be indicated are summed to get the Total Symptom Count for that diagnosis. Please refer to specific DSM-IV-TR Symptom tables for each criterion status and for any exception that may alter the Total Symptom Count. See the Conners 3 Manual for details on how each criterion status is determined. Interpretive Considerations Results from the Conners 3–P are a useful component of DSM- IV-TR based diagnosis, but cannot be relied upon in isolation. When interpreting the Conners 3–P DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales, the assessor should take the following important considerations into account. Please refer to the Conners 3 Manual for further interpretative guidelines. · The Conners 3–P contains symptom-level criteria, not full diagnostic criteria, for DSM-IV-TR
  • 8. diagnoses. Additional criteria (e.g., course, age of onset, differential diagnosis, level of impairment, pervasiveness) must be met before a DSM-IV-TR diagnosis can be assigned. · The Conners 3–P items are approximations of the DSM-IV-TR Symptoms that are intended to represent the main clinical construct in a format that most parents can understand. As a result, some aspects of the DSM-IV-TR criteria may not be fully represented. Before using any diagnostic labels, the assessor must consider all criteria that are required for a DSM- IV-TR diagnosis, including the symptoms from the Conners 3–P. · The Conners 3–P provides information relevant to the DSM- IV-TR diagnoses from two different perspectives: absolute (Symptom Count) and relative (T-score). Results from the DSM-IV-TR Symptom Counts can contribute to the consideration of whether a particular DSM-IV-TR diagnosis might be appropriate. A T-score for each DSM-IV-TR diagnosis facilitates comparison of this individual’s symptoms with his/her peers. At times, there may be discrepancies between the Symptom Count and T- score for a given diagnosis. This is to be expected, since they are based on different metrics (i.e., absolute versus relative). The following points provide some concrete guidelines for the interpretation of this pair of scores (DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count and T- score). · Both scores are elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count probably met, DSM-IV-TR T- score ³ 60): This diagnosis should be given strong
  • 9. consideration. · Both scores are average or below (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count probably not met, DSM-IV-TR T-score < 60): It is unlikely that the diagnosis is currently present (although criteria may have been met in the past). · Only Symptom Count is elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count probably met, DSM- IV-TR T-score < 60): Although the absolute DSM-IV-TR symptomatic criteria may have been met, the current presentation is not atypical for this age and gender. Consider whether the symptoms are present in excess of developmental expectations (an important requirement of DSM-IV-TR diagnosis). · Only T-score is elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count probably not met, DSM-IV-TR T-score ³ 60): Although the current presentation is atypical for the youth's age and gender, there are not enough symptoms reported to meet DSM- IV-TR symptomatic criteria for this disorder. Consider alternative explanations for why the T-scores could be elevated in the absence of this diagnosis (e.g., another diagnosis may be producing these types of concerns in that particular setting).

  • 25. Conners 3–P Assessment Report for Rosa J Admin Date: 05/01/2007 Conners 3–P Results and IDEA The Conners 3–P provides information that may be useful to consider when determining whether a student is eligible for special education and related services under current U.S. federal statutes, such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004). Elevated scores on the Conners 3–P may indicate the need for special education and related services. The following table summarizes areas of IDEA 2004 eligibility that are typically listed for children and adolescents who have elevated scores on various portions of the Conners 3–P. Checkmarks indicate which areas of the Conners 3–P were indicated or endorsed, suggesting possible consideration of IDEA 2004 eligibility in related areas. The information in this table is based on the IDEA 2004 and general interpretation/application of this federal law. Specific state and local education agencies may have specific requirements that supersede these recommendations. The assessor is encouraged to consult local policies that may impact decision making. Remember that elevated scores or even a diagnosis is not sufficient justification for IDEA 2004 eligibility. Finally, keep in mind that the IDEA 2004 clearly indicates that categorization is not required for provision of services. Please see the Conners 3 Manual for further discussion of the IDEA 2004 and its relation to the Conners 3–P content. Possible IDEA Eligibility CategoryContent Areas Follow-up

  • 29. What is the Conners 3? The Conners 3 is a set of rating scales that are used to gather information about the behaviors and feelings of children and adolescents. These rating scales can be completed by parents, teachers, and youth. The Conners 3 forms were developed by Dr. Conners, an expert in child and adolescent behavior, and are used all over the world to assess youth from many cultures. Research has shown that the Conners 3 scales are reliable and valid, which means that you can trust the scores that are produced by the parent’s ratings. Why do parents complete the Conners 3? Information from parents (or guardians) about their child’s behavior and feelings is extremely important, as parents generally know their child better than anyone else. Parents can describe their child’s behaviors in a number of different situations, including the home and community. The most common reason for using the Conners 3 is to better understand a youth who is having difficulty, and to determine how to help. The Conners 3 can also be used to make sure that treatment services are helping, or to see if the youth is improving. Sometimes the Conners 3 is used for a routine check, even if there is no reason to suspect the youth is struggling with a problem. If you are not sure why you were asked to complete the Conners 3, please ask the assessor listed at the top of this feedback form. How does the Conners 3 work? The parent read 110 items and decided how well each statement described Rosa J, or how often Rosa J displayed each behavior in the past month (“Not at all/never,”
  • 30. “Just a little true/occasionally,” “Pretty much true/often,” or “Very much true/very frequently”). The parent’s responses to these 110 statements were combined into several groups of items. Each group of items describes a certain type of behavior (for example, inattention, aggression). The parent’s responses were compared with what is expected for 7-year- old girls. The scores for each group of items show how similar Rosa J is to her peers. This information helps the assessor know if Rosa J is having more difficulty in a certain area than 7-year-old girls. Results from the Conners 3–Parent Form The assessor who asked the parent to complete the Conners 3 will help explain these results and answer any questions you might have. Remember, these scores were calculated from how the parent described Rosa J in the past month. The parent ratings help the assessor know how Rosa J acts at home and in the community. The results from parent ratings on the Conners 3 should be combined with other important information, such as interviews with Rosa J and her parent, other test results, and observations of Rosa J. All of the combined information is used to determine if Rosa J needs help in a certain area and what kind of help is needed. As you go through the results, it is very helpful to share any additional insights that you might have, make notes, and freely discuss the results with the assessor. If the scores do not make sense to you, you should let the assessor know so that you can discuss other possible explanations. Page 1

SAMPLE Conners 3–P Assessment Report for Rosa J Admin Date: 05/01/2007 The parent’s responses to the 110 items were combined into groups of possible problem areas. The following table lists the main topics covered by the Conners 3– Parent form. These scores were compared with other 7-year-old girls. This table gives you information about whether the parent described typical or average levels of concern (that is, “not an area of concern”) or if the parent described “more concerns than average” for 7-year-old girls. This table also gives you a short description of the types of difficulties that are included in each possible problem area. Rosa J may not show all of the problems in an area; it is possible to have “more concerns than average” even if only some of the problems are happening. It is also possible that a parent may have described typical or average levels of concern, even if Rosa J is showing some of the problems in an area. It is important to discuss these results with the assessor listed at the top of this feedback handout. This feedback handout describes results only from the Conners 3– Parent form. A checkmark in the “more concerns than average” box does not necessarily mean that Rosa J has a serious problem and is in need of treatment. Conners 3 results must be combined with information from other sources and be confirmed by a

Please ask the assessor listed at the top of this form to discuss these areas with you. · Features that are commonly seen in youth with inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity When asked to rate whether the problems described on the Conners 3 Parent form affected the youth’s functioning, the parent responded: The parent indicated that Rosa J’s problems often seriously affect her schoolwork or grades. The parent indicated that Rosa J’s problems occasionally seriously affect her friendships and relationships. The parent indicated that Rosa J’s problems occasionally seriously affect her home life.

  • 41. Conners 3–SR Assessment Report for Maggie R Admin Date: 01/15/2007 Introduction The following section provides Maggie R’s scores for the Positive and Negative Impression scales and the Inconsistency Index. Assessment of Validity Raw score = 0 (Probably valid) The Positive Impression score does not suggest an overly positive response style. Positive Impression Raw score = 4 (Probably invalid) The Negative Impression score indicates a response style which can affect validity of the results. Often, a high Negative Impression score indicates an overly negative description of the youth’s behavior, but there are other reasons why the Negative Impression score may be elevated. You may wish to review individual items used in calculating the Negative Impression score to consider possible reasons why this score is elevated. In the context of an elevated Negative Impression score, results from the Conners 3–SR may be an overestimation of Maggie R’s difficulties. Negative Impression Raw score = 7, Number of absolute differences ≥ 2 = 2
  • 42. (Probably valid) The responses to similar items are consistent with one another. Inconsistency Index The Conners 3rd Edition–Self-Report (Conners 3–SR) is an assessment tool that prompts the youth to provide valuable information about herself. This instrument is designed to assess Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its most common co-morbid problems in children and adolescents aged 8 to 18 years old. When used in combination with other information, results from the Conners 3–SR can provide valuable information to guide assessment decisions. This report provides information about the youth’s score, how she compares to other youth, and which scales are elevated. See the Conners 3 Manual (published by MHS) for more information. This computerized report is an interpretive aid and should not be given to clients or used as the sole criterion for clinical diagnosis or intervention. Administrators are cautioned against drawing unsupported interpretations. Combining information from this report with information gathered from other psychometric measures, interviews, observations, and review of available records will give the assessor or service provider a more comprehensive view of the youth than might be obtained from any one source. This report is based on an algorithm that produces the most common interpretations for the scores that have been obtained. Administrators should review the client’s responses to specific items to ensure that these typical interpretations apply to the youth being described. Page 2

Symptoms marked indicated or may be indicated are summed to get the Total Symptom Count for that diagnosis. Please refer to specific DSM-IV-TR Symptom tables for each criterion status and for any exception that may alter the Total Symptom Count. See the Conners 3 Manual for
  • 47. details on how each criterion status is determined. Interpretive Considerations Results from the Conners 3–SR are a useful component of DSM- IV-TR based diagnosis, but cannot be relied upon in isolation. When interpreting the Conners 3–SR DSM-IV-TR Symptom scales, the assessor should take the following important considerations into account. Please refer to the Conners 3 Manual for further interpretative guidelines. · The Conners 3–SR contains symptom-level criteria, not full diagnostic criteria for DSM-IV-TR diagnoses. Additional criteria (e.g., course, age of onset, differential diagnosis, level of impairment, pervasiveness) must be met before a DSM-IV-TR diagnosis can be assigned. · The Conners 3–SR items are approximations of the DSM-IV- TR Symptoms that are intended to represent the main clinical construct in a format that most youth can understand. As a result, some aspects of the DSM-IV-TR criteria may not be fully represented. Before using any diagnostic labels, the assessor must consider all criteria that are required for a DSM- IV-TR diagnosis, including the symptoms from the Conners 3–SR. · The Conners 3–SR provides information relevant to the DSM- IV-TR diagnoses from two different perspectives: absolute (Symptom Count) and relative (T-score). Results of the DSM-IV-TR Symptom Counts can contribute to consideration of whether a particular DSM-IV-TR diagnosis might be appropriate. A T-score for each DSM-IV-TR diagnosis
  • 48. facilitates comparison of this individual’s symptoms with his or her peers. At times there may be discrepancies between the Symptom Count and T-score for a given diagnosis. This is to be expected, given that they are based on different metrics (i.e., absolute versus relative). The following points provide some concrete guidelines for interpretation of this pair of scores (DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count and T-score). · Both scores are elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count probably met, DSM-IV-TR T- score ³ 60): This diagnosis should be given strong consideration. · Both scores are average or below (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count probably not met, DSM-IV-TR T-score < 60): It is unlikely that the diagnosis is currently present (although criteria may have been met in the past). · Only Symptom Count is elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count probably met, DSM- IV-TR T-score < 60): Although the absolute DSM-IV-TR symptomatic criteria may have been met, the current presentation is not atypical for this age and gender. Consider whether the symptoms are present in excess of developmental expectations (an important requirement of DSM-IV-TR diagnosis). · Only T-score is elevated (i.e., DSM-IV-TR Symptom Count probably not met, DSM-IV-TR T-score ³ 60): Although the current presentation is atypical for the youth's age and gender, there are not sufficient symptoms reported to meet
  • 49. DSM-IV-TR symptomatic criteria for this disorder. Consider alternative explanations for why the T-scores could be elevated in the absence of this diagnosis (e.g., another diagnosis may be producing these types of concerns in that particular setting).

SAMPLE Conners 3–SR Assessment Report for Maggie R Admin Date: 01/15/2007 Conners 3–SR Results and IDEA The Conners 3–SR provides information that may be useful to consider when determining whether a student is eligible for special education and related services under current U.S. federal statutes, such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004). Elevated scores on the Conners 3–SR may indicate the need for special education and related services. The following table summarizes areas of IDEA 2004 eligibility that are typically listed for children and adolescents who have elevated scores on various portions of the Conners 3–SR. Checkmarks indicate which areas of the Conners 3–SR were indicated or endorsed, suggesting possible consideration of IDEA 2004 eligibility in related areas. The information in this table is based on the IDEA 2004 and general interpretation/application of this federal law. Specific state and local education agencies may have specific requirements that supersede these recommendations. The assessor is encouraged to consult local policies that may impact decision making. Remember that elevated scores or even a diagnosis is not sufficient justification for IDEA 2004 eligibility. Finally, keep in mind that the IDEA 2004 clearly indicates that categorization is not required for provision of services. Please

This section of the report may be given to parents (caregivers) or to a third party upon parental consent. What is the Conners 3? The Conners 3 is a set of rating scales that are used to gather
  • 68. information about the behaviors and feelings of children and adolescents. These rating scales can be completed by parents, teachers, and youth. The Conners forms were developed by Dr. Conners, an expert in child and adolescent behavior, and are used all over the world to assess youth from many cultures. Research has shown that the Conners scales are reliable and valid, which means that you can trust the scores that are produced by the youth’s ratings. Why do youth complete the Conners 3? Information from youth about his or her own behavior and feelings is extremely important, as the youth knows how he or she feels better than anyone else. Self-reports provide invaluable information about the youth’s own perceptions, feelings, and attitudes about his or her behavior that parents and teachers may not be aware of. Unlike parent and teacher ratings which provide information about either home or school settings, youth are able to give information about their feelings and behaviors across settings and situations. They know how they feel and behave all of the time. The most common reason for using the Conners 3 scales is to better understand a youth who is having difficulty, and to determine how to help. The Conners 3 scales can also be used to make sure that treatment services are helping, or to see if the youth is improving. Sometimes the Conners 3 scales are used for a routine check, even if there is no reason to suspect the youth is struggling with a problem. If you are not sure why the youth was asked to complete the Conners 3, please ask the assessor listed at the top of this feedback form. How does the Conners 3 work?
  • 69. Maggie R read 99 items, and decided how well each statement described herself, or how often each behavior happened in the past month (“not at all/never,” “just a little true/occasionally,” “pretty much true/often,” or “very much true/very frequently”). Maggie R’s responses to these 99 statements were combined into several groups of items. Each group of items describes a certain type of behavior (for example, inattention, aggression). Maggie R’s responses were compared with what is expected for 16-year- old girls. The scores for each group of items show how similar Maggie R is to her peers. This information helps the assessor know if Maggie R is having more difficulty in a certain area than other 16-year-old girls. Results from the Conners 3–Self-Report Form The assessor who asked Maggie R to complete the Conners 3 will help explain these results and answer any questions you might have. Remember, these scores were calculated from how Maggie R described herself in the past month. The self-report ratings help the assessor know how Maggie R acts at home, in school, and in the community. The results from the self-report ratings on the Conners 3 should be combined with other important information, such as interviews with Maggie R and her parent, other test results, and observations of Maggie R. All of the combined information is used to determine if Maggie R needs help in a certain area and what kind of help is needed. As you go through the results, it is very helpful to share any additional insights that you might have, make notes, and freely discuss the results with the assessor. If the scores do not make sense to you, you should let the assessor know so that you can discuss other possible explanations.

SAMPLE Conners 3–SR Assessment Report for Maggie R Admin Date: 01/15/2007 Maggie R’s responses to the 99 items were combined into groups of possible problem areas.

This gives you information about whether Maggie R described typical or average levels of concern (that is, “not an area of concern”) or if she described “more concerns than average” for 16- year-old girls. The table also gives you a short description of the types of difficulties that are included in each possible problem area.
