PPVT assessors must read instructions verbatim, learn how to quickly determine if a basal and ceiling have been established, and practice moving smoothly through the easel, helping children focus on choosing one answer.  

Each assessor who will collect PPVT data should submit a video of themselves conducting an entire assessment with a child.  The video should show the assessor establishing a rapport with the child prior to beginning the assessment.  Please identify a quiet setting, free from distractions and with child-sized furniture.  Make sure you review our Site Review form and Video Queue process for important guidance and instructions on the video submission process (see the Study Tools and Forms page on the Team Member Dashboard).
