Professional Resources and Technologies (PRT) has been publishing tests, checklists, and questionnaires since 1999. We are the sole publishers and distributors of these products. Our goal has always been to provide low-cost measures for clinical and research use.
The Neurobehavioral History Questionnaire has been positively peer-reviewed. The Neurobehavioral Signs and Symptoms checklists provide useful tools for determining the presence of prior impairment to help differentiate pre-existing problems from current problems. The Illness Index, a measure of health-related quality of life, has been used in prior versions in multiple publications as an outcome measure in rehab programs. The Tens Test is a measure of auditory concentration. The Bicycle Drawing Test is an experimental measure that provides two structured scoring systems to assess the quality of a bicycle drawing from memory and a copy of a bicycle model.

Neurobehavioral History Forms
Neurobehavioral Signs and Symptoms checklists (NEW 2024 forms available)
The Neurobehavioral History questionnaires provide comprehensive and organized methods of gathering important patient information that should be part of every clinical assessment. Details about the patient's background are very helpful in medico-legal cases where the thoroughness of your assessment can be documented.
The Neurobehavioral Signs and Symptoms checklists organize presenting concerns and compare them to past functioning. Thus, impaired prior functioning problems will not be mistaken for acquired deficits. Both adult and child forms include a section on possible over-reporting by presenting implausible symptoms.
The Illness Index Measures
The Illness Index questionnaires provide patient, informant (e.g., spouse) and healthcare professional appraisals of the biopsychosocial impact of a disease or injury to measure their perspectives on Health-Related Quality of Life. Comparing illness profiles of multiple informants provides a powerful method of generating hypotheses about patient behavior.
Questionnaires are available for the patient, family member and healthcare provider. Short form versions of the patient and healthcare provider questionnaire are now available that lend themselves to rapid assessments. An Excel (c) scoring form is available to compare the questionnaire information.
NEW: The Illness Index is now available via digital administration at Psypack.com
The Tens Test
The Tens Test is a measure of auditory sustained and selective auditory attention that provides an indication of the examinees ability to sustain attention over 8 minutes, their degree of impulsivity and capability to manage increasingly quicker working memory and processing demands.
The Bicycle Drawing Test
The BDT is a revision of the scoring system by Greenberg et al. (Revised Scoring, Reliability, and Validity Investigations of The Bicycle Drawing Test, Assessment March 1994 vol. 1 no. 1 89-101) with a new copy phase. This visuomotor measure offers a structured system to evaluate the ability to reproduce a real object. The mechanical nature of the bicycle allows for assessment of nonverbal reasoning skills. This is an experimental measure.
