This fully revised third edition of the Developmental Profile strengthens and updates an instrument already considered the best of its kind. Like previous versions, the DP-3 evaluates children's functioning in five key areas, in just 20 to 40 minutes. However, this edition adds norm-based standard scores, an expanded age range, updated item content, clearer interpretive guidelines, a nationally representative standardization sample, new empirical studies demonstrating its reliability and validity, and unlimited computer scoring and interpretation. Includes 180 items, the DP-3 is an excellent way to identify developmental strengths and weaknesses early in a child's life. Its norm-based standard scores allow you to compare children's functioning with that of their peers, design interventions that meet their particular needs, and monitor their progress over time. Designed to evaluate children from birth to 12 years, 11 months.
