Q: Why should I use the ABLE Developmental Inventory for Children and what makes it any different from screening devices?
A: If you are dissatisfied with the present treatment or outcome of your child's problem then you should consider using the ABLE Inventory Series because it is a comprehensive inventory that checks for many conditions that could occur along with your child's diagnosed condition and include other factors that may be causing an undesirable outcome. Also, if your child is having problems and has not had a diagnosis for a behavioral or learning problem this is a good way to begin as it is inexpensive, comprehensive and directs you to the most appropriate medical, mental health or educational professional for further evaluation and treatment. The ABLE Series is believed to be much more comprehensive than many other diagnostic instruments commonly used by health care professionals. It is considered by many parents as a good source for a second opinion.
Q: How can something this inexpensive be any good?
A: Mental health disorders are diagnosed by pertinent information acquired through patient or informant interviews. Because the ABLE Series uses computers and optical mark scanners to collect information, it is labor saving and therefore less expensive. The ABLE Series can, if answered in an honest manner, provide valuable information that can be used to help your child. This "electronic interview" does not take the place of a mental health professional who ultimately decides what is wrong and how to treat it.

Professionals FAQ
Q: What does the ABLE Developmental Inventory offer to professionals and what makes it any different from other screening devices?
A: When you receive the ABLE Report it will be graded. No labor is required. Further it is much more probing and comprehensive than most of the other instruments like it. Finally, when you peruse the ABLE Report you will have a "feel" for your interview that will help you go to the problem faster and with less time spent.
Q: How else does this "Inventory" benefit me?
A: If used properly and logged in the patient's record, the ABLE Report offers objective data that qualifies the visit with a CPT code of a complex nature. Further, you will note the ABLE Report is easily assimilated and requires no transcription, another value of significant proportions for the professional.
