(DAYC-2) Developmental Assessment of Young Children, Second Edition
by Judith K. Voress and Taddy Maddox
Norms
Based on a nationally representative sample of 1,832 children
Benefit
Gives clinicians a baseline assessment of development delays and deficits
Scores
Standard scores, percentile ranks, and age equivalents for each subtest, for several subdomains, and for overall development when all five subtests are administered
Format
Five individually administered subtests that collect information through observation, parent/caregiver interview, and direct assessment
The second edition of this popular test identifies developmental delays and deficits in children from birth through age 5. DAYC-2 scores are highly useful in designing early intervention programs.
The test is composed of five subtests, each focusing on a domain mandated for assessment by IDEA:
Adaptive Behavior
Self-Help Skills
Cognition
Attention
Memory
Purposive Planning
Decision Making
Discrimination
Communication
Receptive and Expressive
Verbal or Nonverbal
Physical Development
Gross and Fine Motor
Social–Emotional Development
Social Interactions
The test format allows you to collect information about the child through observation, parent/caregiver interview, and direct assessment. Because you can assess any combination of the five subtests, the DAYC-2 can be tailored to the particular child’s needs.
