CHAPTER 6 144 Instructing Parents Balancing information. On the one hand, it is important not to give parents too much information so that they do not want to read or cannot remember the instructions; on the other hand, it needs to be enough to make sure they know what is expected. Some information on the PRPP-Assessment helps parents understand why it is important to capture the child and the context on video. Parents should be instructed to intervene only when it is necessary to reduce frustration or to keep the activity going. Knowledge of the aim and content of the PRPP-Assessment can support this behavior. Choice of activity. All everyday activities can be observed, but activities should fit with the conditions—for instance, the weather conditions. Video material suitable for scoring with the PRPP-Assessment requires activities that are sufficiently challenging, allow room for improvement, and are complex enough so that task analysis results in more than two steps. Also, parents should preferably choose activities in different occupational areas to get an insight into the whole scope of everyday life. Method of filming. It is important to use a device that is the least conspicuous for filming actual performance and child behavior. The whole body of the child should be visible, along with the objects or people the child interacts with. Filming the whole task is important—before the child starts, searching information, and when the child is completely ready—no matter the duration of the activity. Also, given instructions and the (non-)verbal reactions of the child should be captured. Privacy legislation and ethical considerations. Considering the GPDR, everyone filmed needs to give informed consent. When impossible, an alternative is to blur people or cut the video before transferring the video to others. Parents should be aware of this before making the video and use the informed consent for others. Even when using a safe transferring method, digital safety is never guaranteed. Therefore, parents should not film their children in a vulnerable situation. For example, when showering is an activity, the child could wear a swimming suit. Handling Video Material Capacity for storage. The storage capacity can influence the choice of device used to make the video material. The capacity should be enough to capture the whole activity. Each videotaped activity uses 5–700 MB, with an average of 200 MB. Transferring method. There should be an easy way of transferring the video material that is understandable for all parents. Preferably, this is a non-time- consuming method. Privacy legislation. For both storage and transferring method, privacy legislation should be adhered to. The process needs to be ethically approved and digitally safe. Ways to achieve this are mentioned in the manual, but are dependent on local legislation.
