Kits, components and pricing

If I have a Bayley-III kit, can I upgrade to Bayley-4? If so what are the options?
| |
Materials are available to purchase separately, however it is more expensive to upgrade this way than to purchase a new kit, i.e. the items required to upgrade would be:
- Bayley-4 Administration Manual (paper or digital)
- Bayley-4 Technical Manual (paper or digital)
- Bayley-4 Stimulus Book (paper)
- New Manipulatives (small set of disks (3); cat puzzle; memory cards; ducks; pennies and penny bank; large disks (6); small car)
- For manual administration and scoring:
- Cognitive, Language, and Motor Forms, and Motor Response Booklets (pkg of 25 of each)
- Social-Emotional & Adaptive Behavior Record Forms (pkg 25)
- Caregiver Report (pkg of 25)
- For digital administration and scoring:
- Q-global: Cognitive, Language and Motor administration, scoring & report and Motor Response Booklets
- Q-global: Social-Emotional & Adaptive Behavior administration, scoring and report

Do I need to purchase the Vineland-3 manual for the Adaptive Behavior Scale?
| |
No need to purchase a separate manual; the items from Vineland-3 used in Bayley-4 are a subset of items, specifically applicable to Bayley-4. All necessary information is in the Bayley-4 manual.
| | What is the difference between the Bayley Motor Record Form, and the Motor Response Booklet? | | The motor response booklet contains the drawing items for the fine-motor scale, these are required for both manual and digital administration. | | What is the difference between Bayley-4 Q-global Scoring Subscriptions and Bayley-4 Q-global Administration? | |
The Scoring-Subscriptions provide a digital scoring option for paper based administration. They allow manual entry of raw data to generate scores and reports.
The Cognitive, Language and Motor Administration, Scoring and Report is used for the on-screen administration of these domains, and is a digital version of the Cognitive, Language, and Motor Record Form. This is for the Examiner to use and complete.
The Social-Emotional & Adaptive Behavior Administration, Scoring and Report is a digital equivalent of the Social-Emotional & Adaptive Behavior record form. This is a caregiver questionnaire which can be emailed to the caregiver with a secure link to complete, or can be completed within your office on an internet enabled device.

How do the integrated caregiver questions contribute to the scoring of an item?
| |
For certain questions a caregiver response is possible for scoring the item, see the example below:
Ask caregiver, "When you say the name of a familiar object, does [insert child's name] look at the object you named often, not often, or not at all?"
Score
2 points, Often
1 point, Not often
0 points, Not at all

Is the Bayley-4 available in Spanish?
| |
Bayley-4 is not currently available in Spanish.
| | At what age is prematurity considered for Bayley-4? | | Prematurity is considered 36 weeks 6 days or less gestation. |
Digital administration and scoring
|
What are the technical requirements for the digital administration?
| |
The digital administration uses Q-global, and combines the record form and administration manual for more streamlined administration. It is optimized for the screen-size of a tablet (e.g. iPad) or larger. Although it will work on a smart-phone, it will not be a good user experience.
The Social-Emotional & Adaptive Behavior questionnaires can be administered remotely via a secure email link.
| |
Is Q-global available for Mac?
| |
Q-global is available on any internet enabled device, so it will work on a Mac.
| | Can you use digital administration if you are not currently on the internet? | | Offline administration is not available currently. The back-up option is to use paper administration, and enter the scores manually, a subscription version of Bayley-4 on Q-global to facilitate this. | | Will there be a scoring disc if you use paper forms? | |
A scoring subscription is available for this. There are 3 options:
1 year
3 years
5 years
Please see the Pricing & Ordering tab for current pricing.
| | How does Q-global work with EMR / EHR? | | Q-global allows for the download of score reports in multiple formats (depending on the assessment) that can be uploaded to any EMR. For many assessments, there are also APIs available that allow for a more direct integration of reporting into the EMR. A future development is that Q-global will also allow for integration with single sign-on and credentials management software. | | For the online administration how do you address child distraction from having an internet enabled device in the room? | | Our user experience studies concluded that the digital administration provided an improved workflow because a separate record form and manual was no longer required, therefore less 'juggling' of materials, and more able to focus on the child. | | How long can you access the results after administration? | | Q-global scoring results remain in your Q-global account indefinitely. | | Can you log in to the digital scoring and save the score report so that another discipline can enter and score their section for the same kid? | |
This is possible, and depends on how the account is set up. Some Q-global users intentionally set up their accounts so that all their team members can view their examinees as a group (rather than just the ones they have entered). Of course, an account can also be setup so that users can only see their own examinees. This is a choice made when the account is set up.
If an account is set-up so that it is in the same hierarchy as other accounts, then the examinee record can be moved from one account to another for other disciplines to enter and score their section. Examinee records can not be moved to an account within a separate entity / hierarchy.
| | Will the program be able to let the examiner know when you should stop correcting age for premature babies? | | It is recommended to adjust for prematurity up to 24 chronological months, however, the platform will allow you to adjust beyond this age. There is on-screen text advising the recommended ages for adjusting. | | Is the information that you enter into the electronic form saved anywhere (online) or used for research? Is the information kept confidential? | | Data storage is compliant with all regulations, please see this document for further details: Q-global Security FAQs | | Can you pull up the original evaluation and add to it for re-evaluations? | |
Growth Scale Values are included in Bayley-4, these are useful for re-evaluation purposes, and are available for both paper and digital administration.
For paper administration statistical significance is also available to evaluate change in Growth Score Values between two administrations.
| | Is there any data on differences between administration using paper vs. digital formats? | |
The digital administration of Bayley-4 is a digital record form with no child interacting with the administration device (e.g. tablet/laptop), likewise the administration guidelines between paper and digital are the same, therefore the digital administration should not affect the scoring of items.
In addition to this, we conducted a validity study comparing performance on Bayley-III (paper scoring) and Bayley-4 (digital scoring). The data indicate that the children's performance on the two tests are similar (no significant difference).

Psychometrics
|
Do the Bayley-4 norms account for children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds?
| |
The normative sample was aligned with the latest US census data, and included children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds including bilingual children.
| |
How are Growth Score Values Reported?
| |
Growth scale values (GSVs) provide a score metric that does not involve age-based comparisons. Their purpose is for tracking performance across repeated test administrations. If a raw score increases upon a repeat administration, the GSV also goes up.
The GSVs have a mean of 500 and a SD of 100. Because of their construction, GSVs cannot be meaningfully compared between subtests or subdomains. GSVs enable the measurement of an individual child's progress or improvement in an absolute sense. Although the normative scaled scores provide information about a child relative to his or her peers at a given time and may show little change over time, the GSV can provide an ability to estimate independent of one's peers and can track growth over time.

Training
|
Will we need new training if we already use the Bayley?
| |
Various training options are available, including on-line training and face-to-face training. Further details available on the Training tab.
