The Conners CPT Online Suite is Now Available

There is a new way to administer, score, and generate reports with only an internet connection. MHS is thrilled to announce the launch of the online version of the Conners Continuous Performance Tests Suite (Conners CPT Online Suite).

The Conners Continuous Performance Tests Online Suite (Conners CPT Online Suite), by Dr. Keith Connors, consists of three assessments: the Conners Kiddie Continuous Performance Test™ 2nd Edition Online (Conners K-CPT™ 2 Online) assesses attention-related problems in children aged 4 to 7 years, while the Conners Continuous Performance Test™ 3rd Edition Online (Conners CPT™ 3 Online) and the Conners Continuous Auditory Test of Attention® Online (Conners CATA® Online) assess attention-related problems in individuals aged 8 years and older. Attention deficits can be observed across a variety of psychological disorders and neurological impairments, and this suite of assessments has a wide range of applications for practitioners and researchers.

The updated version of these tests transforms them from stand-alone USB-based software to web applications that can be accessed across multiple computers while maintaining the original psychometric properties and test paradigms. Access, administer, score and generate reports conveniently using the Conners CPT Online Suite.

From USB to Cloud: Modernizing the Conners CPT Suite for today’s practitioners

The Conners CPT Suite has been a trusted tool used in assessing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and other neurological conditions related to attention since its launch in 2014. Offered initially as software installed via USB, the assessments quickly became popular for their effectiveness. As technology has advanced, the reliance on USBs has become a challenge for many practitioners. As laptops and computers increasingly move away from USB ports and adopt updated operating systems, the original USB-based software has become incompatible for many users.

Due to security risks, many organizations also enforce strict acceptable-use policies that discourage connecting USB drives to internal systems. Compliance regulations require rigorous data security measures for accessing and sharing client data. Cloud-based platforms offer a more secure and compliant solution for sensitive data, ensuring practitioners can confidently meet these requirements. Additionally, USB drives have been known to break or experience technical issues, causing delays and support requests. The process of activating, transferring, or replacing software was becoming inconvenient for our users. As a result, our transition to an online version of the Conners CPT Suite of assessments looks to curb these challenges by embracing the future of clinical tools. An online model ensures the Conners CPT Suite remains accessible and scalable, while continuing to align with the needs of our practitioners.

Exploring the Conners CPT Online Suite

Key features of the  Conners CPT Online Suite  include:

  • Comprehensive assessment of attention deficits for ages 4–7 years (Conners K-CPT 2 Online) and ages 8 years and older (Conners CPT 3 Online and Conners CATA Online).
  • Specific information about the type of attention deficits: Inattentiveness, Impulsivity, Sustained Attention, Vigilance. (Vigilance is not available on the Conners CATA Online; however, the Conners CATA Online includes information about auditory processing, including Laterality and Mobility.)
  • Large, demographically representative normative samples.
  • Reliable and valid assessment of attention deficits.
  • A digital web application that allows access to the test — with administration setup, scoring, and report generation — anywhere with an internet connection. (An active internet connection is essential for logging into the MHS Online Assessment Center+, configuring each administration, initiating the test and generating reports. Internet does not need to persist throughout the administration. Refer to the FAQ and manual that accompany the purchased tests for more information.)
  • Access to a free online digital manual.
  • Computer-generated reports that describe the respondent’s performance in detail.
  • Increased fairness with the default norm comparison setting as Combined Gender norms, and gender-inclusive language in the reports and manual.

Scalability and security: Enhancing the Conners CPT Online Suite

The updated suite comes with additional benefits that can make it a highly instrumental part of a well-rounded battery of assessments:

  • Instant Access: No more software installations, sharing laptops, dragging a certain device around to appointments, or calling customer support for USB replacement. These tests can be accessed via the MHS Online Assessment Center+ (MAC+) on different operating systems and browsers with ease.
  • Scalability: With an online model, you can provide access to practitioners simultaneously and expand your services efficiently, without having to purchase individual USB keys. You can also effortlessly monitor inventory usage.
  • Cost Efficiency and Flexibility: The new online version provides a flexible pricing structure, enabling you to quickly purchase and use the tests without large initial investments. You can purchase inventory based on your individual/organization requirements.
  • Increased Security: Test results are now saved on an industry-standard secure database. MHS regularly reviews and updates our platforms and systems to ensure data security so we can adapt to ever-evolving digital threats and improve regulatory standards.
