PILOT FORMS

[David Herzberg]

Hello all, I'd like to get back to using the google group for this project. I've created a pilot form for the 4-9 month age range for the SPM-2 Infant-Toddler, attached here. It includes 147 items, almost all of the ones that you wanted for this age range. I did delete a few that seemed redundant or very difficult to rate, but those deletions are preserved in the track changes.

I edited many of the items to make them more concise and readable. The originals are preserved in track changes, so you can compare.

My thought was that for the pilot study, we'd have one form for 4-9 months and one for 10-30 months, on a sample of 200-300 kids across these age ranges. Do you think these are the right age divisions/ranges.

I will leave it up to you all as to how you want to review this and get me feedback.

Best, Dave

[Glennon, Tara Prof.]

Thanks, Dave!



We have a phone meeting on Monday, will discuss, and get back to you.

Hi Dave,



Thanks for getting to this project so quickly -- we know how busy you are and really appreciate it!



We were very pleased with the edits and felt that your touch was exactly what it needed! We only have a few comments (noted in track changes) and a note to you at the beginning of the document with regard to numbers and age groups.



Please let us know the next steps.



Thanks,

Tara

Hi Dave,



Just wanted to touch base on the status of the author edit/responses on the Infant-Toddler list. Also, did you plan on going through the caregiver questions so that we could pilot the caregiver form when we pilot the Infant Toddler form?

Hi all, I'm sorry that I've not made any progress on these issues since last we spoke. It's something I think about every day, but all of my actual time work has been devoted to getting the ABAS-3 into production. I expect to be able to turn back to the SPM-2 in October, and I will certainly keep you posted on that.

Thanks for understanding, Dave

[David Herzberg]

OK - I've reviewed your edits and notes.

For all the edits on the items themselves (including going back to the original wording on some), this all seems fine to me and I'll implement the changes.

For the global change to "dislike or shows distress", with these terms defined in the form instructions - yes this is fine, will make this change.

With your reference to age ranges and sample sizes, are you suggesting there should be three versions of the form?

- 4-9 months

- 10-15 months

- 16-30 months

I don't think theres a need for that, but perhaps you were just suggesting that we get at least 100 typical and 100 sensory issues for each age range. Please clarify.

Thanks, Dave

[Glennon, Tara Prof.]

Hi Dave. We just wanted to be sure that we got each age range in the sample. But, the greater the number for each age range, the better.

Here's the latest version of the Infant-Toddler 4-9 month pilot form. This is close to the format we would use to collect data on Survey Monkey. If you approve of this form, the next step is to get it proofread, and then adapt it to the older age range.

[Glennon, Tara Prof.]

Hi Dave: The format of this 4m-9m form is good for the author group. You can go ahead and proof and apply this format to the other ages. We also wanted to make sure that you were doing the same format for the caregiver form, correct? Thanks and have a nice weekend.

[David Herzberg]

Hi All, thanks for the feedback. I will proceed. Have you all had a chance to review the information I sent about bringing the adult form into the SPM-2 project?

[Glennon, Tara Prof.]

Diane P is putting together a list of questions related to the adult version and will follow-up with you. Thanks.

[Diane Parham]

Hi Dave,

I spoke with Erna Blanche a little over a week ago to make sure she understood that royalties would need to be worked out if she were to join the SPM family, and that royalties would be distributed among other authors, not necessarily evenly.  She expressed that she would consider it an advantage to the adult questionnaire if it were to become part of the SPM, and she would still like to pursue this. In our discussion, we both agreed that a third author on the adult questionnaire, Megan Chang, should also be included as an author on that particular form, if it becomes an SPM instrument. 

 

I then went back to the SPM authors with this info, and we discussed the implications of having the two new authors of the SPM Adult Form joining the SPM group.  (I would also be one of the Adult Form authors.)  We quickly realized that we need more clarification from you regarding the Detailed Royalty Worksheet that you recently sent us, before we go forward with a plan to add the Adult form.  

 

Here are our questions -- they all refer to your Detailed Royalty Worksheet, with the assumption that it encompasses the existing SPM forms as well as those under development now:

 

1. What exactly would be included in the Comprehensive Kit? 

2. What exactly do you envision the Comprehensive Manual would contain, how would it be formatted (electronic, hard copies, or both), and how would it be organized?  

3. As we all anticipated, dividing up royalties will require time and careful thought. Is there an industry norm for how this should be done in projects with multiple authors of multiple related products, such as the SPM family?

 

We undoubtedly will have some more questions for you, after you have clarified the above starting points.

Diane​

I just read through the Caregiver items, and it strikes me that this is an adult form, with items that are specific to the parent-infant dyad (30 such items, 14 of which are in Participation). There are 81 items that are not specific to the parent-infant dyad (e.g., they are "generic" adult items). But now that we are considering adding an adult form to the SPM-2, we ought to consider how we want to integrate that adult form with this caregiver form. If we can reach an agreement to add the adult form, then we can compare the two and see how to integrate them.

[Glennon, Tara Prof.]

Hi Dave,



At this point, given that the possibility of an adult form has not been finalized, we would like you to move forward with the pilot of the infant version, inclusive of the caregiver form as we previously provided. Is there a problem with moving forward with that project? Also, can you give us the timeline of when that pilot might go out?



Thanks,

[Diane Parham]

Dave, to add on to Tara's message sent about an hour ago:

The adults in the Infant-Toddler (IT) normative sample will ALL be primary caregivers of infants and toddlers, and they should not be a dominant group in the normative data for the Adult SPM. In fact, they don't need to be represented at all as a distinct group for the Adult SPM. So this is another reason why we don't want to wait on the finalized Adult items -- the items for the IT Caregiver and Adult forms don't need to overlap with exact wording of specific items.

We'd like to initiate pilot data collection for the SPM-IT forms as soon as possible, then initiate the SPM-Teen pilot data collection by February 2015 at the latest, so that both data collection efforts overlap in time.

Diane

Sorry for the delay in reply. Let's proceed with the pilot of the IT form and current caregiver form. Before data collection can begin we need to finalize the three forms (IT-younger, IT-older, Caregiver) and get them up on Survey Monkey. All data collection for the pilot study will be done online. The limiting factor on the timeline for this pilot study continues to be my time. I will keep you posted on my progress. What will get this project moving full steam ahead is to hand it over to my colleague John Williams as the Project Director. That will happen early next year.

[David Herzberg]

Here is the first draft of the 10-30 month IT pilot form. All of the new 10-30 mo items are highlighted in yellow. I removed enough of the younger items to get the total item count down to 150. See one comment calling for an example in one of the 10-30 mo items.

[David Herzberg]

Thank you Dave. 

Regarding an example of 

1.      Tries to touch certain textures or objects[DH1]  over and over again.

 [DH1]What’s an example of this?

 

It would be the infant /toddler who seeks rubbing or touching the corner of a blanket or a certain piece of clothing, fabric, toy or object repetitively or to the exclusion of anything else.

[David Herzberg]

Thanks, Diana - I will add this example to my draft form.

All, attached is my first draft of the Caregiver Form, in track changes so you can see my edits and changes.

[Glennon, Tara Prof.]

Hello Dave,



Thank you for the draft of the 10-30m IT form for the pilot. The format is okay with the authors. Upon review, however, it seems as if a few praxis items were not included. I have attached the praxis list with yellow highlights for the items that are missing. We were not sure if this was an error or if you deleted for a specific reason. The authors felt that they should be included. Thanks.



I am also attaching the final Caregiver Form for the pilot.



Thanks,



Tara

Hi All, sorry for the late reply. John Williams and I are working with the two forms (Caregiver and 10-30 month IT) to implement the necessary changes and see if we have additional feedback for the group. We would like to join your next regularly scheduled call and have that be the official kick of John's role as Project Director going forward. When is that call scheduled for?

In addition to discussing how to finalize the forms for the IT pilot study, we'll also want to revisit the Adult form and come to agreement on terms for including that as part of the SPM-2 project.

Hi all, thanks for your enthusiasm for scheduling this call. Unfortunately, 8a Pacific is challenging for John and I, both of whom have school carpool responsibilities. I will send out a Doodle poll to try for a different time where we all can talk.

I will aim for a time in the week of 2/23, up until that point we are putting the finishing touches on ABAS-3 - all hands on deck!

Thanks, everyone, for your patience. I’m so looking forward to turning my attention more fully the SPM-2 – but still a bit in overdrive mode finalizing the ABAS-3 for NASP – talk to you soon!

Hi Dave,



We had our SPM conference call today and began working on the two AOTA posters. As we craft the infant poster, we were hoping to have data from the research/pilot testing. Can you share with us the timeline for doing the pilot testing for the infant forms (both age groups) and the caregiver form?



Also, when we meet with you and John, we would like to add to the agenda: concepts that we would like to highlight (or stay away from) in the poster presentations. For example, are we mentioning the Caregiver form during this conference presentation? Reminder: last year we purposefully did not mention Caregiver form.

Hi All, Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you on this. See my responses below in ALL CAPS.

Can you share with us the timeline for doing the pilot testing for the infant forms (both age groups) and the caregiver form? OUR GOAL IS TO START THE PILOT STUDY WITH THESE FORMS BY MARCH 31. BY START I MEAN THE FORMS ARE FINALIZED AND UP ON SURVEY MONKEY, WE'VE ENROLLED DATA COLLECTORS, AND PERHAPS A FEW FORMS HAVE COME IN. SO THERE WILL NOT BE ENOUGH DATA, SOON ENOUGH, TO INCORPORATE IN YOUR POSTERS.



Also, when we meet with you and John, we would like to add to the agenda:  concepts that we would like to highlight (or stay away from) in the poster presentations.  For example, are we mentioning the Caregiver form during this conference presentation?  Reminder:  last year we purposefully did not mention Caregiver form. YES WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS, I DON'T REMEMBER WHY WE DIDN'T MENTION THE CAREGIVER FORM LAST YEAR, BUT I DON'T SEE WHY WE COULDN'T TALK ABOUT IT THIS YEAR.

[Glennon, Tara Prof.]

Hi Dave,



Thanks for the update. I have a slight dilemma: based on our previous timeline, I have a group of Quinnipiac students who were going to do a small study/project with the Infant forms in March/April. Is there any way to have the forms ready earlier than March 31? Or, if you are programming all the questions into survey monkey, can that be created earlier? If so, I can copy the pilot surveymonkey url to make a second url of the Infant items to use for just my study.



Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,



Tara

[David Herzberg]

Do they need the caregiver forms too, or just the infant rating forms?

[Glennon, Tara Prof.]

I could do just the infant forms.

[David Herzberg]

I hesitate to make any promises before the ABAS-3 is officially launched. But given how close we are to finalizing the infant forms, it does seem doable. Feel free to prompt us on this towards the end of Feb!

[Glennon, Tara Prof.]

Thanks.

Hello all, I'm posting here my edited version of the SPM IT Caregiver form, with the suffix '_DSHcleancopy'. I basically accepted all of the suggestions on the authors' last draft, did some minor editorial cleanup on a few items, and added the rating scale instructions at the front. If you all approve of this version, then it is ready to go into editorial where it will be finalized for the pilot study. I'm also attaching the authors' last draft for comparison purposes.

Hi Dave,



We are a little bit confused.



1. Can you post what is the most current version of the Infant Items so that we are clear which version we are currently working with?

2. Your message says that the file is called Caregiver DSHclean copy and that you attached original for comparison but the other file you attached is the infant items rather than the caregiver items.

I apologize for the confusion. Here is the status of the three forms for the IT pilot study

IT 4-9 months: version attached here has been approved by the authors and is ready for editorial.
IT 10-30 months: John is working with the authors' latest changes and will post next version when he is ready.
IT Caregiver: version attached here is a clean copy in which I've accepted the authors' last round of changes and made a few minor editorial cleanups. Also attached here is the author's last version, marked up with track-changes, in case you want to compare the two.

So there are three attachments: IT 4-9 mos, and two versions of IT Caregiver.

[David Herzberg]

Hello all, a quick summary of the call today:

Author action items:

1. Finish edits of SPM IT Caregiver form within 2 weeks

2. Send contact info to John for infant-toddler data collectors

WPS action items:

1. Finish edits of SPM IT 10-30 month rating form within 2 weeks

2. Review and respond to adult form contract issues

Also attached is the finalized version (ready for editorial) of the 4-9 month rating form.
