I've found the QbTest to be an invaluable tool in my approach to treating ADHD. By offering objective data on attention and hyperactivity levels, it allows me to tailor treatments specifically to each patient's unique needs. As I monitor progress with the QbTest, I can fine-tune interventions, ensuring the best possible outcomes for those I work with.
