This fully revised fourth edition of the Developmental Profile retains the core elements of its predecessors while adding features that strengthen an instrument already considered the best of its kind. Like previous versions, the DP-4 evaluates children’s functioning in five key areas (Physical, Adaptive Behavior, Social–Emotional, Cognitive, and Communication) in just 20 to 40 minutes, but now with a broadened age range.
New Features:
- Expanded age range now covers birth to 21 years, 11 months
- Growth scores for progress monitoring
- Updated items reflect changes in society, technology, and culture
Two new forms improve overall evaluation: Teacher Checklist and Clinician Rating Form
