BDI-2 (Battelle Developmental Inventory, 2nd Edition) record forms are consumable and must be repurchased from the publisher. Options when running low:
1. **Order additional protocol booklets** from Riverside (NCS Pearson) or an approved assessment distributor. Budget for replenishment as part of your annual clinical supplies budget.
2. **Digital administration**: Riverside offers a digital administration platform (Q-global) that eliminates paper protocols. Contact Riverside for Arkansas EIDT pricing.
3. **Alternative approved assessments**: If BDI-2 protocols are temporarily unavailable, consider whether another approved assessment tool (e.g., DAYC-2, Bayley-4, Brigance) could be used, subject to your program’s approved assessment list and the child’s specific evaluation needs.
Important: Do **not** photocopy BDI-2 protocol booklets. This violates copyright law and may compromise the validity and standardization of the assessment, which could create audit or documentation problems.
Plan ahead — order replacement protocols before you run out, as shipping times can delay evaluations.
