PTBI™ IS: • Rigorously tested using cutting-edge item response theory (IRT) analysis and traditional test development methods • Focused on areas critical to school success, such as listening, speaking, reading, writing, gesturing, and problem solving • Easy to complete in just 30 minutes—won’t overburden children likely to be fatigued or have attention issues • Field tested at trauma and rehab centers and clinics • Useful anytime during the recovery process

A Q&A with the developers of PTBI™ Q: Your Pediatric Test of Brain Injury™ (PTBI™) helps professionals assess the skills of children recovering from brain injury. What type of abilities does it look at?

A: The PTBI is used to track changes in neurocognitive and language functioning as a child recovers from brain injury. Children with brain injury from accident or illness can face many challenges in the early recovery process and as they return to school. They tend to be especially susceptible to memory and retrieval problems that affect their ability to concentrate, and to remember and respond to questions.

Clinicians use the PTBI to look at 10 tasks that are critical for learning: Orientation; Following Commands; Word Fluency; What Goes Together; Digit Span; Naming; Story Retelling—Immediate; Yes/No/Maybe; Picture Recall; and Story Retelling—Delayed.

Q: How does the test work?

A: After a child sustains a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or other acquired brain injury (ABI), the clinician administers the PTBI. The test takes approximately 30 minutes to administer and is given in an interview format, where the clinician asks the child to perform specific tasks. The whole test must be administered on the same day, but it can be broken up into two sessions if the clinician observes the child getting agitated or fatigued. Scores are assessed in 10 critical areas. . .

ap into parents’ knowledge about their children’s language and communication skills with the CDIs and their Spanish adaptation, the Inventarios. Top researchers designed these standardized, parent-completed report forms to focus on current and emergent behaviors parents can recognize and track. Both include • A words and gestures form (ages 8–18 months). Parents document the child’s understanding and production of hundreds of early vocabulary items and the communicative and symbolic gestures that their child is using.

• A words and sentences form (ages 16–30 months). Parents document the child’s production of hundreds of words, record the child’s use of early forms of grammar, and write examples of the child’s three longest utterances.

• CDI-III, an extension of the CDIs for children 30–37 months of age, is a short, single-sheet tool that measures expressive vocabulary and grammar.

• User’s Guide and Technical Manual. The manuals for the CDIs and the Inventarios are both in English, but each has been tailored to the content of its corresponding tool.
