ALWAYS USE PEN
1. Welcome
Show the guardian and child into the quiet room.
Set up the play set for the child to entertain him/herself with.
2. Consent forms
Read and explain consent forms to the guardian.
Extra consent forms are in my desk. Double check that it says MIT on the top.
If you have to write a new number in the corner pick one that is not used.
Remember to mention the follow-up phone call.
Stress to the guardian that neither they nor their child is being evaluated.
Nothing they or their child does is wrong.
3. Preliminary questions
Remember to WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING!
4. Set up camera
Start filming, then call in the child.
Hand the Tigger to the parent.
Let the parent and child play with Tigger for at least 5 minutes.
5. Story line
Ask the parent to stand behind you while you engage
the child with the story.
Allow the parent to intervene but continue to re-engage the child when possible.
6. Debrief
Leave the camera rolling for the debriefing but continue
to write everything down.
7. Goodbye
Thank them and pay them.
Be courteous even if it didn't
go well.
