/in /by

“Parent Concerns”  is one of the four categories that need to be recorded in order for a clinician to diagnose your child.

How to Record a “Parent Concerns” Video

– Record any time/activity that results in behavior that is of primary concern for you and that you would like to share with the clinician.
– Set up the camera ahead of time.
– In the first minute of recording please say out loud what you would like the clinician to see (“This is Johnny ignoring me;” or “This change causes a really bad temper tantrum”).
– Make sure the child being recorded is in view of the camera. If necessary move the camera around but try not to be obviously filming the child.

“Play with Others”  is one of the four categories that need to be recorded in order for a clinician to diagnose your child.

How to Record a “Play with Others” Video

– Record your child playing with a sibling (or with you if no siblings).
– Set up five fun items (toys/books/NO ELECTRONICS).
– Mount camera so both play partners and the toys are in view and the child is facing camera.
– Briefly interact with the child (say his name; direct his attention to sibling; offer a toy- hold it out but don’t give it to him) and then wait for his reaction.
– After a few minutes let the children play. If no sibling, play with the child but let him guide the play.
