What is a Collateral Informant?
A Collateral Informant is someone who knows the person being evaluated for ADHD.
It might be a partner if the person is an adult. Ideally the adult would ask a family member or friend who knew them before age 12 to complete a Wender Utah.
If a child or teen, one collateral will be a parent, or parents. The parent will complete a Vanderbilt, SNAP-IV or Conner's.
Another required collateral informant will be a teacher. This is because ADHD must cause impairment in both home and school. The Teacher will complete a Vanderbilt, SNAP IV or a Conner's.
