After increasing the chair's height, sit on it carefully. Evaluate the chair's sturdiness—if it feels wobbly, adjust the chair's rising equipment until sitting on it feels secure. Be careful when sitting on the chair for the first time in case it slips or falls over. Lifting your chairs any higher can make your chair unstable. If you need seats more than 6 inches (15 cm) above their current heights, you may need to buy new chairs. Read the label or contact the manufacturer to find out the chair accessories' maximum weight limit. Factor in the chair's weight and the average weight of those sitting on it to determine which chair rising equipment is safest. To prevent injuries, do not exceed the equipment's maximum weight limit. Individuals that use the chair should be able to sit and stand easily. As a guideline, their feet should lie flat on the ground or footrest while sitting down. Compare these measurements to how the person who sits in this chair most looks while sitting in it. Adjust higher or lower as needed.  If many people use this chair, choose the average height as a guideline. Chairs that are too high can cause poor blood circulation, put strain on your knees, and constrict the nerves in your legs. If you move the chairs, check the equipment's fit on each of the chair's legs. Even small movements can change the equipment's alignment in dangerous ways.

This questionnaire asks 55 questions about various symptoms, reactions and emotions that the individual feels. There are questions about hyperactivity, impulse control, focus, and so on. It also has questions for the assessment of personal relationships. If your child is getting tested for ADHD, you as parent will also fill out a Vanderbilt Assessment Scale questionnaire. This test evaluates symptoms of ADHD in children and young adults up to age 25. There are scales for parents and teachers as well as for the individual. The combination of these scales will assess the individual’s positive and negative behaviors. This form assesses various symptoms, including problems related to thought, social interactions, and attention, as well as multiple other factors. There are two versions of this checklist: one is for preschoolers aged 1½ to 5, and another for children aged 6 to 18. One alternative test is the Neuropsychiatric EEG-Based Assessment Aid (NEBA). This electroencephalogram scans the patient’s brain waves to measure the theta and beta brain waves that are emitted. The ratio of these brain waves is higher in children and teens with ADD.  The Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. has approved the use of this test for children aged 6 to 17. Some experts consider this exam to be cost-prohibitive. They don’t think the test adds information that can’t already be assessed from the usual procedures for diagnosing ADHD. There are several computer based tests that clinicians use in conjunction with a clinical interview to determine the likelihood of ADHD. Continuous performance testing is used to measure sustained attention ability., Recent studies have shown a direct link between ADHD and the inability to stop eye movement.  This type of test is still in the experimental phase, but it has shown remarkable accuracy in predicting ADHD cases.
