[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also participated in this study. (Full disclosure, I'm also an employee at Westat, but employees were able to participate this time because we don't need a representative sample). Just wrote up my thoughts and I thought I'd share them with more details for anybody who's interested: I found the experience to be pretty fun. Our daughter took the study for 6 month olds. A nice interviewer named Noura come over to our house on Sunday afternoon a couple of weeks ago, and she was there for about 45 mins. All she did is give our daughter a few basic toys (blocks and hoops) to play with and see how she interacted with them. Then she also saw how well she sat up, responded to her name (and a few other words like "no"), and generally moved around. At the end, she gave us results in 3 categories (our daughter was reportedly average for speech, high average for motor control, and above average for cognitive in her age group :) ). She sat in her high chair almost the whole time (other than the sitting test) and seemed to like playing with the toys from our interviewer. I assume it might be slightly different for 1 year olds, but the general process is probably the same. [/quote] I participated right before they started the home visits but didn't get any "results" - is that new?[/quote]
