> WHAT IS AN ONLINE CLOCK
DRAWING TEST?
An Online Clock Drawing
Test ™ is a
test that is administered on a computer equipped with Internet access.
An Online Clock Drawing Test is often called an Automatic Clock Drawing
Test ™. Since the clock is a
universal symbol of time, the
Automatic Clock Drawing
Test
™ standardizes
clock-drawing administration, scoring, interpreting, and reporting with
instant feedback.
Our two most popular Online Clock Drawing Tests
are the Automatic Clock Drawing Tests ™
and the Automatic Military
Clock Drawing Tests ™. The Automatic Clock Drawing Test ™, Times2Tell ™,
a multimedia and interactive product, and the entire line of Automatic
Clock Drawing Test ™ products, offer numerous benefits, including
cognitive impairment screening, brain fitness, mental health
diagnostics, treatments, education, and driver’s license testing applications. The Military Automatic Clock Drawing Test
™, Military Times2Tell ™, is
especially useful for individuals who know time on 24-hour clocks.
Studies show that the Automatic Clock
Drawing Test ™, Times2Tell ™, objectively and rapidly screens for
cognitive impairment and predicts at- fault collision involvement. These
computerized tests may also be used to improve competence assessments of
dementia drivers and others with cognitive impairment 2. The
Automatic Clock Drawing Test ™ may be used as an independent assessment
tool for nursing home admission, assisted living admittance, 24-hour
retirement community care, or as potential indicators of driving
problems in the elderly or people with brain injuries.
Other studies show that the Clock Drawing Test
differentiates cognitively normal older adults from those with at least
mild dementia of the Alzheimer type and provides early indication of
neurological dysfunction.
>
IS CLOCK DRAWING TEST SOFTWARE ALSO
AVAILABLE?
Automatic Clock Drawing Test ™
software is now also available for those individuals who require a
powerful cognitive screening tool without the Internet.
Software is available in DVD format and requires a DVD drive to
operate. For further details and requirements, please
contact us.
>
WHEN WERE THE FIRST CLOCK DRAWING TESTS DEVELOPED?
The first
Clock Drawing tests were developed about four decades ago. Up
until now, these tests were available on paper and always required
administration and scoring by a trained person. Administration,
scoring, and interpretation of results varied from place to place.
Online Clock Drawing Tests by SpecialtyAutomated are automatically
administered and scored online. SpecialtyAutomated Online Clock
Drawing Tests are the first, truly online, standardized, and
scientifically proven Clock Drawing Tests.
>
HOW ARE ONLINE CLOCK DRAWING TESTS NOW USED?
Online
Clock Drawing Tests
are used to evaluate executive function, impulsivity, visual search,
visual attention, and motor speed, among others, of individuals.
Clock Drawing
Tests, like Trail Making Tests,
provide strong measures of mental abilities of individuals. For
this reason, the American Medical Association
and NHTSA recommend both tests for fitness to
drive determinations.
>
WHY IS THE CLOCK DRAWING TEST NOW AVAILABLE ON
THE INTERNET?
Clock Drawing tests were always limited to
paper-based or human administration. As paper-based products,
these tests were also not eco-friendly tools because trees were cut and
processed and not conserved. Our concern for improved assistive technologies and
the environment led us to a new, completely Internet-based format that
could be used on existing computer setups, thereby reducing e-wastes.
>
HOW FAST ARE ONLINE CLOCK DRAWING TESTS
™ COMPARED TO
TRADITIONAL CLOCK DRAWING TESTS?
Studies show that SpecialtyAutomated Online Clock Drawing Tests
™ are at
least 2.5 times faster to take than traditional Clock Drawing tests on
paper. Since Online Clock Drawing
Tests ™ provide
instant scores and feedback, there are also huge savings in time, labor,
and training when compared to traditional administration.
Automatic Clock Drawing Tests
™ lead to reduced client wait
time - and happy clients.

>
ARE ONLINE CLOCK DRAWING TESTS ™ NOW AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND OTHER LANGUAGES?
SpecialtyAutomated Online Clock Drawing Tests
™ are now
available in numerous languages. Until now, for example, speakers
of the French language had to administer Clock
Drawing Tests in
the French language. Online Clock Drawing
Tests ™ eliminate the need for speakers of other languages to
administer tests in other languages.
Since the
Online Clock Drawing Tests
™ are
available in numerous languages, they can be simultaneously administered
at multiple locations worldwide. These are important tests for
Clock Drawing tasks that can now be studied by researchers and
clinicians in real time because Online Clock Drawing
Tests ™ are
standardized and provide instant scores. Also, an unlimited number
of individuals may have their cognition tested. This leads to
improved cognitive impairment detection, monitoring, and treatment of
the masses unlike any Clock Drawing tests available. Automatic
Clock Drawing Tests ™ may prove indispensable in the military, where
adequate, effective and online cognitive tests are sorely lacking to
screen troops for Traumatic Brain Injury, TBI, a leading cause of death
and disability.
>
ARE ONLINE CLOCK DRAWING TESTS ™ USEFUL FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND SPECIAL NEEDS?
Online Clock Drawing Tests
™ are
very useful for individuals with disabilities and special needs.
Until now, individuals with disabilities or special needs were excluded
from traditional Clock Drawing Tests or faced hardship,
humiliation, and even test bias with the assistance of trained staff.
Our line of
Automatic Clock Drawing Tests
™ include
products that enable individuals with special needs to actively
participate in Clock Drawing Tests.
>
WHAT KIND OF COMPUTER MONITOR IS RECOMMENDED FOR
THE ONLINE CLOCK DRAWING TEST ™ ?
As part of our
efforts to promote green
and eco-friendly products, we do not
encourage the purchase of new equipment. Therefore, at a minimum,
a 15 inch (38.1 cm) LCD monitor that is free from glare and dust is
usable. Ideally, at a minimum, a 15 inch (38.1 cm) touch screen
monitor that is sensitive to touch, and free from glare and dust, is
advised, especially for optimal assistive technology applications.
Computer monitor settings may vary from test to test. Therefore,
we will provide the settings information upon request and registration.
>
HOW ARE ONLINE CLOCK DRAWING TESTS ™
DELIVERED OVER THE INTERNET?
All Online Clock Drawing Tests
™ are
delivered online, over the Internet. No fancy or expensive equipment or
setups are needed. No trees are cut for wood. No software, CD-ROMs, or
DVDs to burden landfills. No downloads. Just click, connect, and logon
from any computer with Internet access.
ARE
ONLINE CLOCK DRAWING TESTS ™ REALLY GREEN PRODUCTS?
Online Clock Drawing
Tests ™ are
really green products. SpecialtyAutomated,
manufacturer of the Online Clock Drawing Tests
™, is a
totally green company because all Internet-based tests and solutions are
paperless. Since trees are cut for
wood and wood is processed for paper, fewer trees are cut when there is
little demand or use for paper. When trees are maintained and
grown, our environment and, ultimately, our planet, become more green or eco-friendly.
Online tests also do not
require any software, CD-ROMs, flash drives, or heavy or special
equipment. Software, flash drives, and CD-ROMs become obsolete or
defective. Millions of CD-ROM and DVD disks end up in landfills
and incinerators each year. Such disposal creates unnecessary
pollution and harm to the environment and atmosphere.
Additionally, e-waste is a
major source of pollution. Since online tests are administered
over a client’s networked computers, no new or heavy hardware, cabinets,
kiosks, modular units, synthetic materials, equipment, or other devices
are needed. Such items tend to be designed from metals, plastics,
and wood that damage the environment.

WHERE IS A RECENT TESTIMONY OF THESE ONLINE TESTS?
Mae Volen, a premier
senior center celebrating 40 years of outstanding services in Florida,
provides the following testimony:
"Using
online testing systems, such as the SpecialtyAutomated
Automatic Clock Drawing Tests
™ .... enable testing to be done more quickly, ensure that the
potential for tester bias is virtually eliminated, and in general
conserve time and resources. Seeing the
Automatic Clock Drawing Test ™ work at Mae Volen was
fascinating -- the seniors easily adapted to the computer-based testing
and appeared to look upon taking the test as a personal challenge.
More importantly, the results of online testing mirrored the results
that we know were obtained using the traditional assessments done of the
individuals who used the automated tests. And, in some cases the
Automatic Clock Drawing
Tests ™ identified individuals who had not yet been formally
diagnosed with a cognitive disorder. In sum, the
SpecialtyAutomated testing methods worked and worked quickly."

President, Mae Volen Senior
