Now, with the CDIs and their
Spanish adaptation, the Inventarios,
professionals can tap into parents'
invaluable day-to-day
knowledge - and
respond to
legislation that requires parental input in child evaluations. Top language researchers developed these standardized, parent-completed report forms - CDIs for English speakers, Inventarios for Spanish speakers - designing the forms to focus on current behaviors and salient emergent behaviors that parents can recognize and track. Both the CDIs and the Inventarios have three components: A "words and gestures" form. The CDI: Words and Gestures is for use with children ages 8-16 months, while Inventario I: Primeras Palabras y Gestos is for 8-18 months. In both the forms, the first part prompts parents to document the child's understanding of hundreds of early vocabulary items separated into semantic categories such as animal names, household items, and action words. Parents mark the words understood or used, and the forms yield separate indexes of words understood and words produced. The second part of each form asks parents to record the communicative and symbolic gestures the child has tried or completed. Note: The Spanish and English forms were developed separately to reflect the vocabulary and grammatical structure of each language. A "words and sentences" form. Both CDI: Words and Sentences and Inventario II: Palabras y Enunciados are for use with children ages 16-30 months. In the first part of each form, parents document the child's production and use of hundreds of words divided into semantic categories. The second part analyzes the early phases of grammar, including the child's understanding of word forms and the complexity of the child's multi-word utterances. Parents identify the words the child has understood or used and provide written examples of the child's three longest sentences..
