Conners (C. Keith Conners)

C. Keith Conners was a psychologist best known for developing the Conners' Rating Scales, tools used to assess Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and related behaviors in children and adults. These scales involve questionnaires that gather observations from parents, teachers, or individuals themselves to identify issues with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Conners’ work has been influential in diagnosing and understanding ADHD, helping clinicians create tailored treatment plans. His contributions have significantly improved the assessment process, making it more systematic and reliable for both research and clinical practice.
