3 Summary of the Instrument
The Battelle Developmental Inventory 2nd Edition is abbreviated at the BDI-2. The BDI-2 is a standardized, individually administered assessment battery of key developmental skills in children from birth through 7 years of age. The BDI-2 consists of 450 test items grouped into 5 domains: Adaptive Personal-Social Communication Motor Cognitive The BDI-2 also contains an efficient and comprehensive Screening Test

4 Applications Identifications of the developmental strengths and opportunities for learning of typically developing children in preschool through primary education programs Identifications of the developmental strengths and opportunities for learning of children with disabilities in infant intervention and preschool through primary education programs Assessment of children who are considered to be “at risk” in any developmental area General screening of preschool and kindergarten children Team assessment and development of IFSPs and IEPs Monitoring of student progress on a short- and long-term basis

5 Purposes Assessment of the Typically Developing Child
Assessment and Identification of the Child With a Disability of Developmental Delay Planning and Providing Instruction and Intervention Evaluating Programs Serving Children

6 Administration Administrations procedures are designed to collect data through a structured test format for assessments with a child, interviews with parents, caregivers, or teachers, and observations of the child in natural settings The BDI-2 uses a format for materials that is designed to facilitate a team- assessment model. The administrator of the instrument must participate in formal training that includes practice supervised by an experienced examiner. An examiner who is experienced in the BDI may become proficient with a basic workshop experience, self-study, and practice.

7 Administration cont’d.
Three types of procedures: Structured – requires the examiner to obtain the information in a controlled one-on-one setting in which the examiner uses stimuli to elicit the response from a child Observation – assesses behaviors that occur during a child’s normal activities in an educational setting, at home, or in another natural environment; behaviors must be demonstrated consistently and over time Interview – used especially for many items in the earliest age ranges for which the bets information comes from the parent, caregiver, or teacher; they become the respondent and the examiner asks that they describe both the child’s behavior under specific conditions and frequency

9 Areas Assessed: 1) Adaptive Domain
Adaptive Domain (ADP) Measures the child’s ability to use information and skills acquired in the other domains Subdomains: Self-Care: eating, dressing, toileting, grooming, and preparing for sleep Personal Responsibility: initiate play and other meaningful activities, carry out tasks with minimal prompting, and avoid common dangers and demonstrate care and caution

10 Areas Assessed: 2) Personal-Social Domain
Personal-Social Domain (P-S) Assesses abilities and characteristics that allow a child to engage in meaningful social interaction with adults and peers and to develop his/her self-concept and sense of social role. Subdomains: Adult Interaction: Responds physically when held, is aware of and identifies familiar people, and helps an adult with simple tasks Peer Interaction: share toys/objects, plays cooperatively with other children, and recognizes basic similarities and differences among all children Self-Concept and Social Role: is able to express emotions, is aware of differences between males and females, and copes effectively with aggression, criticism, or teasing

11 Areas Assessed: 3) Communication Domain
Communication Domain (COM) Measures how effectively a child receives and expresses information and ideas through verbal and nonverbal means. Subdomains: Receptive: responds to different tones of voice, responds to who or what questions, identifies initial sounds in words and associates pictures with words. Expressive: produces vowel sounds, clearly articulates familiar words, uses five- or six-word sentences, and uses words to relate information.

12 Areas Assessed: 4) Motor Domain
Motor Domain (MOT) Assesses a child’s ability to control and use the large and small muscles of the body. Subdomains: Gross Motor: Walks without support, walks up and down stairs without assistance, throws a ball and hits a target using both hands, and hops forward on one foot Fine Motor: picks up a small object using thumb and index finger, traces designs with corners or curved edges, ties a simple overhand knot, and cuts paper with scissors on a straight line Perceptual Motor: puts a small object into a bottle, stacks a series of cubes vertically, copies letters, numbers, and words, and writes in script.

13 Areas Assessed: 5) Cognitive Domain
Cognitive Domain (COG) Measures those skills and abilities most commonly thought of as “mental” or “intellectual” with the exception of language and communication skills Subdomains: Attention and Memory: follows auditory and visual stimuli, recites poems, stories, or songs from memory, and locates hidden items in a complex picture Reasoning and Academic Skills: Names and matches colors, demonstrates skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and uses simple logic to answer questions Perception and Concepts: compares objects based on physical features, relates objects and events based on position in time and space and sequences them, brings together parts of a whole, groups and sorts similar objects and identifies similarities and differences, and recognizes properties of objects that remain unchanged in the face of perceptual distortion

14 Basals/Ceilings Basal
Begin at the entry point indicated in the chart according to chronological age If a child scores 2 on three consecutive items, a basal level has been established. If a child does not score 2 on the first item administered, administer in reverse order until a child receives a 2 on three consecutive items. Ceiling Continue testing until the child scores 0 on three consecutive items.

15 Examples from the Test Adaptive Domain
Procedure Observation Observe the child during feeding time to determine whether he or she feeds him/herself bite-sized pieces of food by picking up bits of food with fingers/hand and transferring to mouth. Interview Ask the parent/caregiver: “Does your child feed himself bite-sized pieces of food?” If so, “What are some of these foods?” “How does the child do this?” “How often does the child feed himself bite-sized pieces of food?” Self-Care 12 months through 23 months SC 8 – Observation, Interview Behavior: The child feeds him/herself bite-sized pieces of food. Materials: None Scoring Points Child feeds himself bite-sized pieces of food. 2 Typically (90% of the time) 1 Sometimes Rarely or never (10%> of the time)

16 Examples from the Test Personal-Social Domain
Procedure Give the child a mirror (or hold it for them), point to the reflection in the mirror and say, “Who is that?” If the child responds by saying, “Baby,” say, “Who is the baby?” Self-Concept and Social Role 2 years, 6 months through 2 years, 11 months SR 8 – Structured Behavior: The child identifies himself or herself in a mirror. Materials: Mirror Scoring Points Child 2 Definitely indicates that the image in the mirror is him or her 1 Looks in mirror but does not identify himself or herself Does not look in mirror

17 Examples from the Test Communication Domain
Expressive Communication 12 months through 23 months EC 8 – Structured, Observation, Interview Behavior: The child imitates speech sounds Materials: None Procedure Structured Face the child at a normal conversational distance. Ask the caregiver to identify words or sounds the child says. Say several of these, repeating each several times. Note whether the child repeats. Observation Observe the child in the presence of older children or adults. Note whether the child attempts to imitate others. Interview Ask the caregiver/parents these: “Does your child vocalize, babble, or repeat words or sounds when someone speaks to him or her?” If so, “Describe the child’s verbal responses in these situations.” “how frequently does this occur?” Scoring - Structured Points Child 2 Imitates or repeats words or sounds 1 Attempts to imitate but is not precise Does not attempt to imitate words or sounds Scoring – Observation and Interview Points Child initiates or repeats speech sounds elicited by another person 2 Typically (90% or more of time) 1 Sometimes Rarely or never (10% or less of time)

18 Examples from the Test Motor Domain
Procedure Seat the child at a table and sit next to him/her. Shoe the child the four beads and the shoelace and say, “Watch what I am going to do. I’m going to put these beads on this shoelace.” String the four beads, hold them up, and say, “See what I made!” Remove the beads from the shoelace and place them on the table in front of the child. Hand the child the shoelace and say, “Now you put the beads on this shoelace.” If the child does not respond, repeat the demonstration. Allow the child approximately 2 minutes to string the beads. Fine Motor 4 years, 0 months through 4 years, 11 months FM 17– Structured Behavior: The child strings 4 large beads. Materials: 4 large 1-inch round beads, shoelace with a long plastic tip Scoring Points Child strings 2 4 beads 1 2 or 3 beads 0 or 1 beads

19 Examples from the Test Cognitive Domain
Attention and Memory 12 months through 17 months AM 7 – Structured Behavior: The child follows a visual stimulus. Materials: 18 inch strand of yarn loosely rolled into a ball Procedure Seat the child on the caregiver’s lap. Attract the child’s attention to the yarn by moving it into his or her field of vision. Do not use any sound cues. While the child is looking at the yarn, let the yarn fall to the floor. After dropping the yarn, do not move your hand or arm until the child responds. Observe the child’s head and eye movements. The child does not need to visually find the yard on the floor. Repeat this procedure two more times. Scoring Points Child’s response to dropped yarn 2 Turns head or eyes downward, following the yarn on 2 or more trials 1 Turns head or eyes downward, following the yarn on 1 trial Does not turn head or eyes downward

20 Examples from the Test Screening
Procedure Seat the child at a table or on the floor. Place the ring and the sheet of paper on the table or floor 4 to 5 inches apart. Place the toy animal in the ring. Do not use gestures while you give the instructions. Stress the italicized words. Say, “The ___(name toy) wants to get out of the ring. Take the ___ out of the ring.” After response say: “The ___(name toy) wants to be on the paper.” Communication - Receptive 3 years through 3 years, 11 months ST 49 – Structured Behavior: The child responds to the prepositions out and on. Materials: Toy animal, brightly colored plastic ring, 1 sheet of 8 ½ in x 11 in while paper Scoring Points Child places oy animal in correct position for 2 2 requests 1 1 request 0 requests

21 Demonstration

22 My School I work in a small private school that is not connected to a district. There is no educational diagnostician connected to the school. Any assessment that is conducted is contracted outside of our school, so the Battelle is not used at my school.
