Product Details

The Conners EC provides you with contemporary normative data that reflects a diverse population demographic. The large normative sample is representative of the general U.S. population in terms of ethnicity/race, gender and age (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2000).

The normative sample is also diverse in terms of socio-economic status and geographic region. The data collected during the normative study allowed for a thorough evaluation of the psychometric properties of all versions of the assessment tools.

The normative data included 800 parent and 800 teacher / childcare provider raters. Separate norms are provided for males and females at 6-month intervals. Combined gender norms are also available.

Child psychologists, clinicians, paediatricians and child psychiatrists can rely on the Conners EC to help them identify when early intervention is required.
