Battelle Developmental Inventory, Second Edition

Appropriate for ages birth to 8, the BDI-2 is ideal for several uses:

New Features

Administering

Administration of the BDI-2 can begin in any of the 5 Domains (see list below). The start points for each subdomain are clearly marked and are determined by the age or the estimated ability level of the child. Examiners proceed through each of the subdomains to determine the child level of development.

Scoring and Interpretation

The BDI-2 can be hand-scored or scored with optional scoring software. Norm-referenced scores (scaled scores with a mean of 10, SD = 3, score range of 1-19) are provided at the subdomain level. The subdomain scores combine to form the five BDI-2 Domain scores and the overall DBI-2 Developmental Quotient (each with a standard score mean of 100, SD = 15, score range of 40-160). Also provided for the Domain scores and the Developmental Quotient are percentiles and Confidence Intervals. Age equivalent tables are also available.

The BDI-2 Screening Test consists of a subset of test items from the full BDI-2 item pool. The scoring procedures are similar to those of the full BDI-2, but cutoff scores are provided to aid in identification of children who may need additional follow up.

Technical Information

Normative data for the BDI-2 were gathered from over 2,500 children between the ages of Birth to 7 years 11 months. The normative sample closely matches the 2000 U.S. Census (education level based on 2001 data). Bias reviews were conducted on all items for gender and ethnicity concerns. Item desirability information from examiners was also considered in the selection of the find items.

Reliabilities for the BDI-2 meet or exceed traditional standards for excellence at the subdomain, domain and full test composite levels. Concurrent and criterion validity data was obtained using the original BDI, the BSID-II, WJ III®, Denver-2, PLS-4, Vineland SEEC, and WPPSI-III. All validity and reliability information is contained in the Examiner's Manual.

BDI-2 ScoringPro™ Software

Examiners can use any Palm with 8 MB and collect data. Once data is collected using the electronic record form, examiners can hotsynch to their local desktop and use the scoring software.

The BDI-2 ScoringPro is designed as a web-based scoring software program (Mac or PC) or as a standalone computer software program (PC only). The child's item scores are entered either at the computer keyboard or by using a Palm-based (PDA) electronic record form. The ScoringPro program provides consistency in determining all the raw scores totals and the subsequent norm-referenced scores for the BDI-2. By using the Palm-based (PDA) electronic record form, professionals can quickly assess a child's abilities. A wide selection of reports is available to choose from including narrative reports for parents or professionals, score reports for student folders and aggregate reports for program evaluation support. All reports can be printed and many reports can be exported and then imported to a word processing file for editing as necessary.
