Welcome to Targeted Testing
At Targeted Testing, we are developing and researching a new line of computer administered and evidence-based assessments systems that are used in the screening of psychological disorders.
Our primary developmental approach consists of two main areas of focus. The first relates to integrating an updated construct of the disorders and the specific criteria, while the second addresses the question of how to enhance diagnostic accuracy in an efficient manner.
The strengths of our approach lie in our methods of merging multiple, proven measures with high Psychometric utility, and our actuarial approach to incremental validity using Bayesian reasoning and likelihood ratios. In this manner, every aspect of the assessment's non-redundant information can contribute to the quantitative probability either for or against a diagnosis in such a way to improve outcomes.
Our flagship product is a software program called PADDS, the Pediatric Attention Disorders Diagnostic Screener. Which is a highly effective evidence-based Pediatric ADD ADHD assessment system.
What Clinicians Are Saying About the PADDS:
In over thirty-five years I have never come across an AD/HD screening test that is so exciting and best of all it is evidence-based. The PADDS incremental plotting "wows" parents so they can visually compare their child's performance in concert with their own results as well their child's teachers. The utility of the PADDS for pre/post medication testing is also invaluable. I look forward to using this test in the years to come.
