QbCheck is a clinically validated computer-based assessment that provides objective data on core symptoms associated with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Rather than relying solely on self-report or behavioral observations, this measure uses a brief, structured task alongside movement tracking to capture measurable information about:
The test takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete and can be administered either in-clinic or remotely on a compatible laptop with a webcam support.
Traditional ADHD evaluations rely heavily on interviews, rating scales, and subjective reports from clients or caregivers. While these are essential, an objective performance-based measure can help clinicians better understand symptom patterns and how they relate to everyday functioning.
Clinically, this objective information can enhance clarity in the assessment process, especially when symptoms are complex, mixed, or inconsistent across environments.
You’ll complete a simple, structured attention task on a computer screen. Every time a specific pattern appears, you’re asked to press a response button.
Using your device’s camera, the test measures subtle physical activity, helping capture signs of hyperactivity that may not be evident in traditional questionnaires.
Impulsive responses — such as pressing when the pattern hasn’t appeared or pressing too early — are recorded and analyzed.
Together, these data points are combined into a report that clinicians can review alongside other assessment information.
QbCheck can be a helpful part of an ADHD evaluation for children, adolescents, and adults who experience challenges with attention, impulsivity, or hyperactivity. It is especially useful when symptoms are complex, overlap with other concerns, or present differently across environments. Individuals seeking additional clarity, structure, or objective support alongside clinical interviews and rating scales may find this assessment particularly valuable.
At Daybreak Counseling, QbCheck can be completed either in-clinic or remotely, depending on what works best for you. Remote testing allows clients to complete the assessment from home using a compatible laptop with a webcam, which can be especially helpful for busy families or adults with demanding schedules. In-clinic testing is also available for those who prefer in-person support or a structured testing environment. Both options generate the same clinically validated results.
QbCheck is not used as a stand-alone diagnostic tool. Instead, results are integrated with clinical interviews, rating scales, developmental history, and professional judgment. Your provider will review the findings with you, explain what they mean, and discuss how they inform next steps. This comprehensive approach helps ensure thoughtful, individualized care rather than quick conclusions.
After completing QbCheck, results are reviewed by your clinician and discussed in the context of your overall evaluation. The information may help guide treatment planning, support diagnostic clarity, or track progress over time. Any recommendations are made collaboratively, with attention to your goals, concerns, and unique circumstances.
The test itself is quick — approximately 15–20 minutes — though you should allow additional time for preparation and discussion with your provider.
QbCheck provides objective data that complements a clinical evaluation. A formal ADHD diagnosis always involves clinical judgment informed by multiple sources of information.

Toggle ContentQbCheck can be completed by children, adolescents, and adults when clinically appropriate. Your provider will determine whether QbCheck is a good fit based on age, presenting concerns, and overall evaluation needs.
QbCheck is designed to be brief and straightforward. Most children find it manageable, and many describe it as similar to a simple computer game. Clinicians monitor the process closely and can provide breaks or additional support if needed.
QbCheck offers measurable data that can help inform medication decisions when ADHD is being considered. It may be used before starting medication to establish a baseline or after medication begins to evaluate how symptoms are responding. This allows for more thoughtful, individualized treatment planning rather than relying on trial-and-error alone.
No. QbCheck is a tool that supports care, not a replacement for it. Ongoing therapy, medication management, and collaboration with your provider remain essential parts of comprehensive ADHD treatment.
If QbCheck results and clinical evaluation suggest that ADHD may not be the primary concern, that information is still incredibly valuable. Difficulties with attention, focus, and regulation can also be influenced by anxiety, trauma, learning differences, sleep challenges, mood concerns, or life stressors. At Daybreak Counseling, we use assessment results to guide next steps, not force a label. Our goal is clarity, understanding, and a care plan that truly fits you or your child—whether that includes therapy, skill-building, lifestyle support, further evaluation, or other treatment options.
