The test was originally developed as the world's first computerized touchscreen conative tests over 30 years ago by Prof Barbara Sahakian and Prof Trevor Robins. As Cambridge Cognition we developed in 2001 as our own company to commercialize these tests. Since then the tests have been used in over 2300 published papers and 260 clinical trials and two medical devices (EMA, TGA and FDA have been approved) We have a platform for clinical trials and academic research as well as several medical devices. The system administers the tests for you by speaking the instructive instructions in any one of 47 languages. Thus, no qualifications are needed to administer the tests. We have both in lab/clinic platform which is administered and a web-based version for tests that do not require strict device timings. For the in-lab version, the test administrator has to logon, add or select the subject and press start tests. After that the system does the administration for you. On the web based, the subjects are not supervised at all. The system goes though some checks, like sound check and then does the tests.

Very often children with this disorder might be feeling failure at school and exclusion from their peers and others. It might also affect their home, social, and school environments. These students with this disorder might present management and therapeutic challenges for counselors, psychologists, and mental health professionals. This chapter aims to provide an overview of conduct disorder, which might help school rehabilitation professionals and educators understand what risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis criteria, and treatment options can better understand this disorder, preventions, and interventions. This chapter will cursorily explore these realms with an overview of this disorder and offer some implementations and recommendations for school rehabilitation professionals.

Teachers often spend much more time with children than their own parents. However, there is concern about suicide, drugs, alcoholism and negative behavior. This paper explores some relevant issues regarding the amount of care, concern, compassion that is expressed by teachers and the resultant impact on student mental health. Teachers permeate the lives of children. From kindergarten to university, the adult in the front of the room has an impact on all children-be it good or bad. While the impact of teaching is typically measured in student achievement growth scores, one ultimate factor that is often not assessed or evaluated is the mental health of the child. The teacher is a role model, often a mentor, on occasion a coach, and still at other times, a confidant and confident. The teacher observes, listens, and on occasion expresses the fact that they are concerned about the short term and long term doings of their students. However, in recent years, attention has turned from the mental health and well being of the child/adolescent to standardized test scores. Attention has shifted from social skills to the use of the internet. Students are now preoccupied with their cell phones rather than with other students and library research and learning. There are certainly good variables that reflect good teaching, and exemplary styles of teaching. But this paper will simply explore what the authors refer to as "the care quotient".
