Far too often the specific behaviors, deficiencies, or needs, which contribute to the diagnosis of persons as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disordered, are not translated into areas of treatment/ intervention emphasis. Because assessment of behavior problems should go beyond the point of identification for the purpose of providing an appropriate intervention program and should lead to behavioral improvement, the Adult Attention Deficit Disorders Evaluation Scale (A-ADDES)- Work, Home, or Self-Report Version and the Adult Attention Deficit Disorders Intervention Manual (A-ADDIM) were developed. Together the A-ADDES and the A-ADDIM contribute to the identification of goals, objectives, and interventions to enhance client/patient success in the work/school and home environments.
