The Test of Everyday Attention for Children (TEA-Ch) builds on the TEA by measuring attentive abilities in children.

The TEA-Ch comprises 9 subtests which measure children’s abilities to:

• selectively attend;

• sustain their attention;

• divide their attention between two tasks;

• switch attention from one thing to another;

• withhold (inhibit) verbal and motor responses

The TEA-Ch is suitable for children aged 6–16 years.

The subtests are sensitive to the developmental progression of attentional skills. There are two parallel forms which allow for confidence in re-testing of the same child.

Clinical and research strengths

Standardised scores allow comparison of attentional performance in each of the attentional domains. TEA-Ch is suitable for group or single case assessment of children with a wide range of abilities.

Norms

293 controls, 6 to 16 years by 6 ages bands, aged scales scores and percentile ranks.
