Your Screening Result

The score you obtained ( / 27). . However, if you are still concerned about the child, it's recommended to discuss this with a healthcare professional for a more thorough evaluation.

It's important to note that the SNAP-IV is not a diagnostic tool, and a high score on the questionnaire does not necessarily mean someone has ADHD. Likewise, a low score does not rule out the possibility of ADHD. A formal diagnosis should be made by a qualified healthcare professional such as a clinical psychologist based on comprehensive assessment including objective tools (eg. CONNERS-4).
