Purpose: Identifies possible neurological interference in learning
Age: 5 through to 18yrs
Admin: Individual
Time: 20 minutes
IF ORDERING THE KIT PLEASE LOOK AT THE NEW QNST-3
Description:
The popular QNST has been updated to include the latest research findings concerning the soft neurological signs that may accompany learning disabilities. Current clinical research documents the co-occurrence of learning disabilities and problems of physical development in such areas as manual dexterity, spatial orientation, fine and gross motor movements, visual tracking and tactile perceptual activities.
The popular QNST has been updated to include the latest research findings concerning the soft neurological signs that may accompany learning disabilities. Current clinical research documents the co-occurrence of learning disabilities and problems of physical development in such areas as manual dexterity, spatial orientation, fine and gross motor movements, visual tracking and tactile perceptual activities.
The QNST-II manual explores the importance of such soft neurological signs in educational settings as well as the medical implications. Special education personnel will appreciate knowing whether behaviours seen in the classroom have physiological (organic) or emotional origins.
The detailed scoring information will also allow other rehabilitation professionals invaluable assistance with planning appropriate remediation.
Administration and Scoring:
The QNST-II is untimed, but can be administered and simultaneously scored in about 20 minutes using brief tasks adapted from standard pediatric neurologic exams. Performance patterns screen for early identification of learning disabilities. Scoring patterns suggest possible avenues of further diagnostic assessment.
