Visit
Consent
Give parent an overview of the study:
"First, we have a few questionnaires for you to fill out. Then, we'll go into another room with [] to play some games. It will be 3 games, all on an iPad. You can be with [] the whole time."
And then go over the consent form:
"This is a consent form. It goes over our protocol in detail. You can read through it and let me know if you have any questions. If you consent, write you child's name, your name, and sign for [] to participate, and then write your name and sign for your own participation."
Photo release form
"This is an optional photo release form -- it is entirely separate from participating in the study. This would allow us to use photos of [] from today's session or that you've sent us, for example in conference presentations or on our website. You can look over the list on the back and check which of those places you'd be comfortable sharing with. You can also choose if you want us to share []'s name and how you'd like to be credited for any photos you've taken."
Demographics
"This form asks for information about your child and your family. Please feel free to skip any questions you're not comfortable answering. These two middle pages look similar, but (point) this one asks about you and (point) this one asks about []'s other parent. Let me know if you have any questions."
ASQ
"This questionnaire asks about []'s development. It asks about particular skills, and you can check whether or not [] does them yet. For some, you can prompt [] to try out the skill - we have the necessary materials here. If you already know [] can do something, you can just check it off."
Now, you'll head into the waiting room. The parent can either stay in the waiting room or come sit silently off to the side of the testing room. If the parent is coming, instruct them not to talk or interact with their child in any way.
