The BDI-2 is used widely for eligibility determination by many states and programs (Brown et al, 2010; Macy et al, 2005; NECTAC, 2009a, 2009b) and has been used to validate three state assessment systems (Elbaum, Gattomorta, & Penfield, 2010; Greenwood, Walker, Hornbeck, Hebbeler, & Spiker, 2007; Rous, McCormick, Gooden, & Townley, 2007).
