The Quick Neurological Screening Test – Third Edition Revised (QNST-3R) is a standardized tool designed to identify subtle neurological signs that may be linked to learning, behavioral, or developmental difficulties. Suitable for individuals aged 4 to 80 years, the QNST-3R evaluates a range of sensorimotor functions including motor coordination, sensory integration, balance, sequencing, and spatial awareness. These functions are essential for academic tasks such as writing, reading, and sustained attention, making the QNST-3R particularly useful in educational and clinical settings.
At Pehchaan, the QNST-3R is administered by trained psychologists as part of a broader assessment process when children exhibit academic under performance, coordination issues, or behavioral concerns. The test comprises 15 simple tasks that are quick to administer and non-invasive, yet reveal valuable information about the integrity of the nervous system. Irregularities in performance can point to developmental immaturity or mild neurological dysfunction, guiding clinicians toward appropriate referrals or interventions.
The integration of QNST-3R into Pehchaan’s diagnostic framework supports early identification of neurological soft signs, which may otherwise go unnoticed. These insights help shape individualized therapy plans—whether occupational, behavioral, or academic—based on the child’s unique neurodevelopmental profile. By using QNST-3R alongside other standardized tools, Pehchaan ensures a thorough and holistic approach to understanding and supporting every child’s developmental journey.
