Developmental Assessment of Young Children - DAYC
Judith K. Voress and Taddy Maddox
|
Use the DAYC to identify children birth through 5-11 with possible delays in the domains of cognition, communication, social-emotional development, physical development, and adaptive behaviour. You'll have five subtests (one for each of the above domains) that you can administer separately or as a comprehensive battery to individual children in about 10-20 minutes. You will be able to identify infants and young children who may benefit from early intervention. Each of the five domains this test measures reflects an area mandated for assessment and intervention in IDEA for young children. The DAYC was normed on a U.S. national sample of 1,269 individuals, broken into 23 age groups. Characteristics of the normative sample approximate the 1996 U.S. census. The reliability of the DAYC has been studied, and evidence relating to content-sampling and test-retest time sampling reliability is provided. Reliability coefficients range from .90 to .99. Standard Error of Measure (SEM) ranges from 1.5 to 4.74, with the majority smaller than 3.0. Reliabilities for children identified as environmentally at-risk and biologically at risk are .98 and .99. |
