I am confused about how to administer the CREDI Long Form. How do I decide where to start and stop the assessment for each child?

Details on how to administer the CREDI Long Form are available in the CREDI Assessor Manual.  Briefly, the Long Form includes a total of 108 items that are ordered from least to most difficult. Individual children receive answers for a different subset of these items depending on their age and ability level. To start the Long Form, data collectors should find the item that corresponds to the child’s age band (marked on the Long Form itself by à to the left of the items). The data collectors should then stop the Long Form after the caregiver responds “no” or “don’t know” to 5 items in a row. Items before the start point and after the stop point (i.e., items not answered by the caregiver) should be left blank/missing.
