SC1A. INTRODUCTION TO EQUIPMENT SET-UP



SAY TO CAREGIVER: Let’s get your equipment set up so we can get started. In the materials bag that was dropped off to you, there is a black laptop bag. Can you please get that now?

WAIT FOR CAREGIVER TO CONFIRM THEY HAVE THE LAPTOP BAG.

SAY TO CAREGIVER: There are two sections of the laptop bag – a larger one and a smaller one on the side.



STEP 1: SET UP MIFI

SAY TO CAREGIVER: First, let’s take the MiFi device out of the smaller zippered section of the laptop bag. The MiFi will allow you to connect to the internet. It is in a box that has the letters M-I-F-I on it.

Open the box and remove the MiFi device. It is about the size of a cell phone. (There are some instruction materials and a charger as well but you can leave those in the box.)

There is one button on the outside edge of the device. While looking at the side of the device that has the screen (not the back which has a sticker on it), hold the button down until you see the words “MiFi” appear then release the button. You will need to hold the button down for a few seconds.

This will turn on the device. It takes a few moments for it to fully turn on. You will see “Verizon” on the screen while it is booting up. When the word “Verizon” goes away and you see more items on the screen, you know it is turned on.

Once the device is on, please look at the top of the screen and tell me what you see. IF THE SCREEN GOES DARK, ASK THE CAREGIVER TO TAP (NOT HOLD) THE BUTTON ON THE TOP OF THE DEVICE TO WAKE IT UP.

SAY TO CAREGIVER: In the top left of the screen, you should see bars as well as numbers and letters. The bars are like what you see on a cell phone to know how strong the signal is. You should always see five bars that get bigger from left to right, but some of them are filled in dark indicating the strength of the signal. How many of those bars are filled in dark?

One 1

Two 2

Three 3

Four 4

Five 5



CONFIRM THAT THERE ARE 5 DARK BARS AND SOME ARE NOT LIGHT GREY. IF LOW BARS, TROUBLESHOOT PLACEMENT OF MIFI.

SAY TO CAREGIVER: Next to the bars, what letters and numbers do you see?

5G 1

4G LTE 2

4G 3

3G 4

Other (SPECIFY) 5

_______________________________________________________(STRING (NUM))

SAY TO CAREGIVER: Okay, now on the top right hand corner of the screen, you will see a battery meter that has a number and percent symbol next to it. What percent does it say? IF BATTERY IS INSUFFICIENT, INSTRUCT CAREGIVER TO CHARGE.

Great, your MiFi is set up and ready to use. Please set it on the table in front of you.



STEP 2: SET UP TABLET

SAY TO CAREGIVER: Next let’s set up the tablet. [IF NEEDED: Don’t worry if you’re not good with computers. I will talk you through step by step and make this as easy as possible.]

Please unzip the larger section of the laptop bag and pull out the tablet. [There will also be a keyboard in there but you should not need that - you can leave it in the bag.]

PAUSE AND ALLOW CAREGIVER TO CONFIRM THEY HAVE THE TABLET.

Let’s get the tablet set up. [There’s a kickstand on the back of the tablet that will prop it up. Just pull the flap out by pulling the bottom part of it away from the tablet.

With the kickstand pulled out,] put the tablet on the table in front of you next to the MiFi. [The tablet should be positioned so that it is wider than tall.] You can adjust the angle [by how far you pull out the stand].

ALLOW RESPONDENT TO ADJUST VIEWING ANGLE.

SAY TO CAREGIVER: Next let’s turn on the tablet. There are two buttons on the top left. Press the one that is farthest to the left. (The other button controls volume).

Now that the tablet is turned on, you should see the word “Family” with a password box below it. Do you see that?

  • IF NO: You might need to swipe up to get to the login. Please swipe from the bottom to the top of the screen. [IF NECESSARY: Put a finger near the bottom of the screen and move it up to the top of the screen.]

CONTINUE TROUBLESHOOTING BY ASKING THE CAREGIVER WHAT THEY SEE ON SCREEN UNTIL THE CORRECT SCREEN IS UP.



WHEN CAREGIVER CONFIRMS THEY SEE PASSWORD BOX: Okay, great. Using your finger, touch the white box that says “Password” and it should open up a keyboard on the tablet. I’m going to ask you to type in a password by touching the keys on the keyboard with your fingers…are you ready? GIVE PASSWORD SLOWLY.

After typing the password, touch the right facing arrow that’s next to the box where you typed in the password with your finger. PAUSE FOR TABLET TO LOG IN.

You should now see the tablet desktop with a blue background and some icons on the left hand side of the screen.



STEP 3: CONFIRM INTERNET CONNECTIVITY

SAY TO CAREGIVER: Now let’s make sure the tablet is connected to the internet. It should automatically connect to the MiFi device that we set up, but it might take a minute or two. Let’s check.

Push (NOT HOLD) the button on the top of the MiFi device once to make the display screen visible. In the middle part of the screen, you should see the words “wi-fi – on” below the official WiFi symbol with curved lines. Right next to that, do you see the words “Primary – 1”?

  • IF NO: CAREGIVER MIGHT SEE “NO DEVICES CONNECTED”. TROUBLESHOOT BY LOOKING FOR WIFI CONNECTIONS ON THE LAPTOP.



WHEN CAREGIVER CONFIRMS THEY SEE ‘WI-FI – ON’: Great. That means your tablet is connected to the MiFi device and the internet.



STEP 4: INITIATE REMOTE ASSISTANCE SESSION

SAY TO CAREGIVER: Okay, next I’m going to walk you through a process that will allow me to remote-in to your tablet so I can troubleshoot any issues as needed.

On your screen there is a blue and white icon labeled “Quick Assist”. Double click it by tapping it twice quickly with your finger (the same way you would double click using a mouse, but with your finger).

ASSESSOR: INITIATE QUICK ASSIST SESSION, SELECT GIVE ASSISTANCE.

SAY TO CAREGIVER: That should bring up a window that says “Get Assistance” at the top with a field to enter a code. I’m going to give you a code to enter.

Use your finger to touch in the box where the code needs to be entered. This will bring up the keyboard so you can type in this code. Are you ready? PAUSE. Type in this code: GIVE CODE.



Once the code is typed in, hit the “share screen” button. You will see a window that says “Waiting for helper to set up this session” while I’m entering something on my side.

ASSESSOR: ENTER ‘TAKE FULL CONTROL’ IN YOUR QUICK ASSIST SESSION.

A new window should have opened asking about sharing your screen. Using your finger, hit the “Allow” button.

ASSESSOR: CONFIRM THE SESSION SUCCESSFULLY STARTED.

You should now see a thin yellow outline around the outside of your screen. That just means that I am able to look at what’s happening on your screen and control things on your tablet if you need any help.



STEP 5: INITIATE WEBEX SESSION & CHECK CONTROLS

SAY TO CAREGIVER: Now I’m going to set up the video call so we can begin talking through the computer. I’m going to launch this from your screen so you will see me moving around on the tablet. Please give me a minute.



ASSESSOR:

  • CHECK BATTERY LIFE; IF INSUFFICIENT BATTERY, ASK CAREGIVER TO PLUG IN THE TABLET

  • INITIATE WEBEX BY ENTERING MEETING INFORMATION ON CAREGIVER TABLET

  • START CAREGIVER VIDEO

  • CONFIRM WEBEX CONTROLS ARE SET UP AS REQUIRED

  • CHECK VOLUME ON CAREGIVER TABLET

  • CONFIRM CAREGIVER IS POSITIONED APPROPRIATELY IN VIDEO



ONCE WEBEX IS SET UP:

IF HEADSETS ARE BEING USED, SAY TO CAREGIVER: Next let’s get the headset set up. In the smaller section of the laptop bag, there is a headset with clean ear covers. Please take that out of the bag. PAUSE. Insert the headset plug (the end that looks like a pin) in the round hole on the top left side of the tablet. Then go ahead and put on the headset.

Okay, you should be able to hear me now through the tablet, and we can hang up the phone now. Can you hear me ok? ADJUST VOLUME AS NEEED. Please keep the phone nearby in case we have any technical issues and I need to reach you on the phone.


PROCEED WITH ASSESSMENT.

SC2.INTRO

SAY TO RESPONDENT:

I just have a few more questions to ask you first. I’ll let you know when I need [CHILD].

The purpose of these activities is to learn more about your family as part of the MIHOPE study. Today, I will do some activities with [CHILD] to understand more about [CHILD]’s development. These activities are like games, and children usually find them fun.

Later, I will ask you and [CHILD] to play together with some toys.

Lastly, I will ask you to do a quick memory activity with me. Altogether, these activities will probably take about two hours.

You or [CHILD] can stop the activities at any time, and if at any time anyone needs to take a break, please just let me know.

You should know that participation is completely voluntary, and all the information that I collect is private. If I ask you to participate in an activity that you are uncomfortable doing, just tell me and I will move on to the next activity. All of the results of this study will be reported for groups of families. No answers will be analyzed or reported for individuals. Neither your name nor [CHILD]’s name will be used in our reports.


When we finish, I will ask you to give [CHILD] a small gift included with your materials. When you return your materials, you will receive a $75 gift card to thank you for your help.



PROGRAMMER: DISPLAY PILOT STUDY CONSENT FORM ON CHILD’S SCREEN

Before we start, we need you to read over this consent form. If you agree to participate in these activities after reading the form, I will ask you to verbally indicate your agreement. Participating in this study is completely your choice. There is no penalty if you do not agree to participate.

Please let me know if you have any questions.





PARENT/GUARDIAN PERMISSION FOR PARTICIPATION IN MIHOPE VIRTUAL VISIT PILOT



Thank you for agreeing to take part in the pilot of a virtual visit as part of the Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation (MIHOPE). A nonprofit organization called MDRC is running the study. The study team also includes Mathematica, who is conducting the pilot of a virtual visit. This study is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The study aims to improve services for parents with young children.

The goal of this virtual visit is to help the study team improve their procedures. The information collected will not be used in any study reports; the information collected will only be used to improve the data collection tools.

What does it mean to participate in these activities?

If you agree to these activities, we will ask you to do the following. This should take about 2 hours:

  • Set up the electronic equipment.

  • During the virtual visit, set up the equipment needed for you and your child to do the activities. Your interviewer will explain how to do this step-by-step.

  • Agree to do a quick interview and a memory activity.

  • We will ask you to do a quick interview and a memory activity. You may refuse to do the activity, or you may stop the activity at any time.

  • Allow your child to participate in activities.

  • We will ask your child to do several activities. You may refuse to allow your child to do any of these activities or you may stop the activities at any time.

  • We will ask that you remain present to help your child with technology issues and encourage attention.

  • Allow us to video record you and your child interacting.

  • We will virtually record you and your child interacting and playing with different toys. The videos will be stored in a secure location. The videos will be used to help us learn about the quality of videos collected virtually, how we can improve our procedures, and for training purposes only. You may refuse to be video recorded. You may stop the recording at any time.

  • Answer a few questions about your experience participating in the virtual visit.

  • Right after the virtual visit, we will ask you a few questions about your experience. We will also call you a day or two after the visit so that you can share your thoughts about how it all went. These questions should take no more than 15 minutes total.

You will receive $75 for completing these activities. A local staff member will give you your gift card when they pick up your equipment.



PROGRAMMER: DISPLAY TEXT ON THIS PAGE FOR PILOT ADMINISTRATION ONLY



What are the benefits and risks to me in completing these activities?

However, the study team follows strict rules to protect your privacy. We will keep your information private unless there is concern that you or someone else may be harmed. For example, if someone from the study team sees or learns about evidence of child abuse or neglect, they would tell someone. In this case, we may report this to Child Protective Services.

How will my information be kept safe?

The research team follows strict rules to keep your information private. Any information collected from the virtual visit will be used only for training and to help us improve our procedures. We use secure computers and data storage systems to protect data from being seen by anyone other than the study team. All study staff are trained to protect your privacy. All study staff sign a confidentiality pledge.

Taking part of these activities is your choice.

Taking part in these activities is your choice. If you decide not to take part, nothing will happen to you. You may change your mind and decide not to allow us to conduct any of the activities.

Who can I call with questions?

If you have questions at any time, please call Alicia Harrington at 609-945-3350.



Participant’s Statement:

I understand the information in this document: I agree to participate in the virtual visit. I will get a copy of this form to keep. The research procedures, risks and benefits have been explained to me. I am free to ask any questions. Doing any of these activities or allowing my child to do any of these activities is my choice.

The survey will give us information on your child’s behavior and performance in school. We would like your permission to contact the teacher and have them answer questions about your child.

What does it mean to collect teacher surveys?

We will ask you to give us the name of the teacher, the name of your child’s school, and the email address and phone number of the teacher. Your child’s teacher will be asked to complete a short survey. We will ask about your child’s behaviors in school. We will also ask about special education services, times when your child may have gotten in trouble, and absences.

What are the benefits and risks to me providing this consent?

This information may help improve services for parents with young children. There is minimal risk to you or your child by giving us permission to contact the teacher. None of the questions on the teacher survey are on sensitive topics. There is a small risk that your child’s information will be seen outside the study team. However, the study team follows strict rules to protect your privacy. No reports will include any names or any other identifying information. We will not provide information that identifies you, your child, your child’s school, or your district to anyone outside the study team, except as required by law. We will keep your information private unless there is concern that you or someone else may be harmed.

How will my information be protected?

The research team follows strict rules to keep your information private. Any information collected for the study will be used only for research purposes. We use secure computers and data storage systems to protect data from being seen by anyone other than the researchers. All study staff are trained to protect confidentiality. All study staff sign a confidentiality pledge. The study might be extended to past when your child is in kindergarten. If that happens, we might share your information with other researchers. These researchers or the current study team might continue to collect information about you and your family. They would also keep your information private.

All information about you will be marked with a code number and not your name. No reports will describe you in a way that you can be identified. We will share data from the study with other researchers, but the data will not let anyone know who you are. We have to deliver the study data to the federal government at the end of the study, but the data file will not contain information that can identify you.

The study has a Confidentiality Certificate from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This states that we do not have to identify you, even under a court order or subpoena. We will use the Certificate to resist any requests for information that would identify you. However, if keeping your answers private would put you or someone else in serious danger, we will have to tell the appropriate agencies to protect you or the other person. The government may see your information if it audits the study, but it would keep your information confidential. This Certificate does not mean that the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services approves of this project.

INTRO. INTRODUCTION TO CHILD ASSESSMENT


PLEASE VIDEO RECORD FULL VISIT FOR QA. BEGIN WEBEX RECORDING NOW.


SAY TO CAREGIVER: Before I start these games with [CHILD], I have to explain a few things to you. It is very important that [CHILD] completes these activities on his/her own without any help. You should stay nearby in case I need your help with any technical issues that come up, but please do not help [CHILD] answer any questions during the activities. I know that it can be tempting to make comments or try to help [CHILD] answer a question, but it is important for me to record how [CHILD] answers all by him/herself so please do not say anything that can influence his/her response. Also, you should know that for research purposes, I can only ask the questions in specific ways. Some of these activities are challenging, and [CHILD] is not expected to get them all correct. As a reminder, all the materials were cleaned before they were dropped off. Do you have any questions?

ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

IF CHILD ISN’T ALREADY PRESENT, HAVE THE CAREGIVER GET THE CHILD. CHILD SHOULD SIT AT THE TABLE WHERE THE ASSESSMENT WILL TAKE PLACE.

Please sit [CHILD] in front of the tablet. I need to be able to see [CHILD] clearly so I will let you know if you need to adjust the angle of the tablet. INSTRUCT AS NEEDED SO THAT CHILD IS IN FULL VIEW. Please give me a few minutes to make some additional adjustments. I will be remoting into your tablet so you may see me moving the cursor around. I will let you know when I am finished and am ready to begin with [CHILD].

USE THE REMOTE FEATURE TO SHUT OFF THE CHILD SELF-VIEW. WHEN FINISHED, SAY: Ok, all set. Thanks for your help. I’m going to turn my attention to [CHILD] now. But please stay close enough in case I need your help again.

IF HEADPHONES ARE NEEDED DUE TO BACKGROUND NOISE: Please connect the headphones to the tablet and put the headphones on the child. The jack is on [FILL]. If I need to talk to you at any point, I will tell [CHILD] to get you.] VERIFY THAT THE VOLUME ON THE HEADPHONES IS NOT TOO LOUD OR SOFT FOR CHILD.



LOOK DIRECTLY AT TABLET CAMERA AND SAY TO CHILD: Hi, [CHILD]. Before we start, I want to tell you my name. My name is [ASSESSOR NAME]. I have some pictures to show you and some games I will ask you to play. Please listen carefully and do the best you can. Some games will be easy and some games will be hard, even for older kids. So, don’t worry if you’re not sure about them. Just stick with it and try your best, okay?

Now just a couple of rules as we play these games. Keep the tablet where it is unless I tell you to move it. For some games, I will be showing you pictures so you will see me small. But for other games, you will see me large on the screen. It’s really important that you stay in your seat so I can see you through the camera. And try to speak in a loud voice so I can hear you, okay?

First, I have a fun activity for you. You get to create a [FILL] picture! As we finish up different games, you will be adding things to your picture. And at the end, you’ll have a completed picture! PAUSE. What would you like your [FILL] to have first? A [FILL], a [FILL], or a [FILL]? ALLOW CHILD TO RESPOND.

I. THREE BAG TASK

MATERIALS

CAREGIVER:

TABLET WITH BUILT-IN CAMERA

Mifi device (or other equipment to boost internet signal)

GOOSENECK TABLET STAND

BAG #1: RAINBOW FISH BOOK

BAG #2: ETCH A SKETCH WITH HOUSE STENCIL

BAG #3: ANIMAL HAND PUPPETS (2 OF EACH ANIMAL FOR 6 IN TOTAL)

YOGA MAT

VISUAL HANDOUT OF PROPER SET UP


ASSESSOR:

MPRID SIGNBOARD (IN THE ASSESSMENT RECORD FORM BOOKLET)

STOPWATCH


GENERAL INTRODUCTION AND MATERIAL SET UP



IF CHILD IS WEARING HEADSET: Please remove and unplug your headset now.

SAY TO MOTHER/CAREGIVER: For this next activity, I am going to video-record you and [CHILD] playing with the materials in the three blue numbered bags we sent. After this activity, we will do one more short activity just with you.

First, I will guide you through the set up and positioning. Please do not open the blue bags until I tell you when.

Once we start, I’d like to complete the actual activity without interruptions. It will take a little over 12 minutes after we get set up. If you or [CHILD] needs a break, now would be a good time.



[{IF 3BAGSMODE=1 / FLOOR}

For this task, you will sit on the floor next to your child [on the yoga mat that we have provided]. I’ll need your help finding a good spot on the floor to set up [the mat] and position the tablet stand. The camera angle will need to capture a good frame so that you have space to play and I can clearly see your faces and the toys while you play.

Is there a spot on the floor where you can sit side by side [on the yoga mat] and there is still space to place the tablet about 3 feet away from you? Ideally, this should be a space that will not have people walking through the play area and there isn’t a window behind you since that will make your faces too dark to see. Do you see a good spot on the floor that could work?

[IF NO] That’s ok. Let’s try to set up the activity at a table. While sitting together at a table, is there still space to place the tablet about 3 feet away from you? Ideally, where you sit at the table should not have people walking by and should not have a window behind you since that will make your faces too dark to see. Do you see a good spot at the table that could work?

[IF YES] Great! ] GO TO SET UP QUESTION



[{IF 3BAGSMODE=2 / TABLE}

For this task, you will sit at a table next to your child. I’ll need your help positioning the tablet stand. The camera angle will need to capture a good frame so that you have space to play and I can clearly see your faces and the toys while you play.

While sitting together at a table, is there still space to place the tablet about 3 feet away from you? Ideally, where you sit at the table should not have people walking by and should not have a window behind you since that will make your faces too dark to see. Do you see a good spot at the table that could work?

[IF NO] That’s ok. Is there a spot on the floor where you can sit side by side [on the yoga mat] and there is still space to place the tablet about 3 feet away from you? Again, this should be a space that will not have people walking through the play area and that there isn’t a window behind you since that will make your faces too dark to see. Do you see a good spot on the floor that could work?

[IF YES] Great! ]



IF THERE ISN’T A GOOD SPOT ON THE FLOOR OR TABLE, THE PLAY TASK CAN OCCUR ON A SOFA OR BED.



WHAT SET-UP WAS USED TO CONDUCT TASK?

ON THE FLOOR 1

AT A TABLE 2

A SOFA, BED, OR ANOTHER LOCATION 3



Let’s get the tablet and materials set up so that I have good framing and we can hear each other well. Then I’ll explain what you and [CHILD] are going to do. Please grab the three blue numbered bags [IF ON FLOOR: and yoga mat]. There should also be a laminated, [FILL COLOR] handout showing how we want you and [CHILD] to sit together with the bags. Do you see these materials?

Great. I’m going to switch the tablet display. This way, you can see what I see on my end and we can work together to get a good camera angle.


SWITCH THE WEBEX DISPLAY SO CAREGIVER VIEW IS MAXIMIZED. FOCUS VIEW SHOULD BE LOCKED ON FAMILY [AND ASSESSOR IS VIEWED AS THUMBNAIL].






GUIDE CAREGIVER THROUGH PROPER SET UP USING THE FOLLOWING CHECKLIST:

  • SELECT LOCATION FOR RECORDING. PREFERENCE IS FOR GOOD FLOOR PLAY SPACE; TABLE IS OK IF PROVIDES BETTER CAMERA FRAMING OF PLAY. LOCATION SHOULD BE OUT OF THE HOUSEHOLD TRAFFIC AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

  • [ASK CAREGIVER TO PLACE MAT ON THE FLOOR; WILL NOT USE MAT IF AT TABLE.]

  • CAREGIVER SHOULD PLACE TABLET ABOUT 3 FEET AWAY FROM WHERE CAREGIVER/CHILD WILL SIT.

  • ASK CAREGIVER TO GET GOOD FRAMING BY MOVING THE TABLET CLOSER AND FARTHER AWAY AND ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF THE CAMERA. PROVIDE FEEDBACK UNTIL YOU DETERMINE GOOD FRAMING. GOOD FRAMING IS ONE WHERE THE CAREGIVER AND CHILD’S FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, MOVEMENTS, AND TOYS ARE CLEARLY VISIBLE. CAMERA ANGLE SHOULD BE AT THE CAREGIVER’S EYE LEVEL.

  • ASK CAREGIVER TO ADJUST THE LIGHTING AS NEEDED. TO AVOID BACK LIGHTING, DO NOT FILM DIRECTLY INTO REFLECTIVE SURFACES OR IN FRONT OF A WINDOW WITHOUT THE SHADES DRAWN.

  • ALLOW THE CHILD AUTONOMY TO CHOOSE WHERE HE OR SHE WOULD LIKE TO SIT IN RELATION TO THE CAREGIVER. THE BAGS WILL BE PLACED ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE ACCORDINGLY. WHILE THE SET-UP DEPICTED IN THE IMAGE HERE IS IDEAL, THESE CHILDREN ARE OLDER AND MIGHT NOT WANT TO SIT IN THIS CONFIGURATION. IT’S BETTER TO HAVE THE CHILD COMFORTABLE AT THE START OF THE INTERACTION INSTEAD OF FORCING THIS CONFIGURATION.

  • ASK CAREGIVER TO PLACE THE BAGS ON THE SIDE OF THE CAREGIVER, OPPOSITE TO WHERE THE CHILD IS SEATED.

  • ASK CAREGIVER TO PLACE BAGS AS SHOWN IN THE LAMINATED HANDOUT, WITH BAG #1 CLOSEST TO THE CAMERA AND BAG #3 NEXT TO THE CAREGIVER.

  • REMIND CAREGIVER TO MAKE SURE BAG NUMBERS ARE VISIBLE TO HIM/HER TO REDUCE CONFUSION WITH THE BAG ORDER.



  • WORK OUT A STRATEGY WITH THE CAREGIVER FOR OCCUPYING OTHER CHILDREN WHO ARE PRESENT, KEEPING THEM OUT OF THE CHILD’S VIEW.

  • MINIMIZE THE PRESENCE OF OTHER SOUNDS. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT OTHERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD ARE NOT POSITIONED NEAR THE CAMERA. IF THE TV OR OTHER AUDIO DEVICES ARE ON, KINDLY ASK THE CAREGIVER TO TURN IT OFF.


POSITIONING OF CAREGIVER AND CHILD:

Thank you for helping me with set up. Now, I am going to video-record you and [CHILD] playing with the materials in these three bags. We want to see your faces throughout the activity. Please make sure that your hair does not cover your faces.



IF MOTHER/CAREGIVER OR CHILD IS WEARING A HAT: We need to see your face(s) clearly in the video. Please take off your hat(s) just for this activity. Thank you. PAUSE TO ALLOW MOTHER/CAREGIVER OR CHILD TO ADJUST THEIR HAIR AND/OR REMOVE HAT.



During the activity, please use the materials in the bags in the language that you feel most comfortable speaking with [CHILD]. Do you prefer to do this activity with [CHILD] in English or Spanish?

ENGLISH 1

SPANISH 2

EITHER/NO PREFERENCE 3



Once we start, I’d like to complete the activity without interruptions. It will take a little over 12 minutes. Also, I would like for you to silence your cell phone ringer or turn off your phone for the next 12 minutes. Can you please do that now? PAUSE TO ALLOW MOTHER/CAREGIVER TO SILENCE/TURN OFF PHONE.



If you have a land line and it rings in the next 12 minutes, I ask that you let the call go to voicemail. If someone rings the doorbell, I would appreciate if someone else took care of it. Is that OK? IF NO ONE ELSE CAN ANSWER DOOR, SUGGEST HAVING THE CAREGIVER PLACE A SIGN ON THE FRONT DOOR OR NOT ANSWER THE DOOR; CAREGIVER SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH THE STRATEGY DETERMINED IN ADVANCE OF THE PLAY INTERACTION.



Once the activity starts, I cannot say anything to [CHILD] and can only talk to you [LOOK AT THE CAREGIVER] when necessary. If [CHILD] tries to talk to me or comes over to the tablet, please talk to [CHILD] and ask [CHILD] to play with you.



IF OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS ARE PRESENT, ADD:

Could you please let the other people in your home know that you’ll need some time now without interruptions? If you wouldn’t mind, if any family members forget and come into this area while we are recording, please try to stay focused on the activity and not engage with other family members.



Are you okay with proceeding?

  • PLEASE LET THEM KNOW THAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN BEING ABLE TO SEE THEIR FACES THROUGHOUT THE ACTIVITY. IF THE CAREGIVER/CHILD HAS A HAIRSTYLE THAT COVERS MOST OF THEIR FACES, KINDLY ASK THEM TO ADJUST THEIR HAIRSTYLE SO THEIR FACES ARE VISIBLE. IF THE CAREGIVER/CHILD IS WEARING A HAT, KINDLY ASK THEY TAKE IT OFF.

  • SET STOPWATCH FOR 12-MINUTE COUNTDOWN.

During this activity, you may play with [CHILD] if you like.

I3. SAY TO CAREGIVER: Please face the tablet and try to stay in view [{IF SETUP =1 / FLOOR} on the floor [mat]] [{IF SETUP=2 / TABLE} at the table]. Please start with Bag #1, move on to Bag #2, and finish with Bag #3. You can spend as much time on each bag as you like. I will let you know when the play time is over and it is time to clean up and put the toys away. Just so you know, all the materials have been cleaned before they were dropped off. Do you have any questions?



CHECK THAT STOPWATCH IS SET FOR 12-MINUTE COUNTDOWN.



SAY TO THE CAREGIVER: You can begin now.



START THE STOPWATCH. MAKE SURE ASSESSOR AUDIO IS ON MUTE.
