Our Client Testimonials

The K-SADS is the most widely used and well validated diagnostic interview for children and adolescents.

The web-based KSADS-COMP instruments were developed with funding from the National Institute of Health (NIH), and are currently being used in many large-scale research projects in the US and abroad.

Thank you for your work: I am one person among countless clinicians, patients, families and others that has benefited directly from being able to use the KSADS to provide meaningful case conceptualization.

I had been using a paper version of the KSADS for over a decade before switching to the KSADS-COMP in 2017. I’ll probably never use a paper version again. The KSADS-COMP respects people’s time, reduces bias, and has a living algorithm that rapidly adapts to changing diagnoses. Plus it’s got a nifty user interface. It’s helpful for research and teaching.

KSADS-COMP is the go-to diagnostic tool in our practice. We find it easy to use and love that there is an option for caregiver and child. We are grateful to have peace of mind when it comes to diagnosing and treatment planning because of the KSADS-COMP.
