The Developmental Assessment of Young Childen - Second Addition (DAYC-2) is a popular test used to identify children birth through 5:11 with possible delays in the following domains: cognition, communication, social-emotional development, physical development, and adaptive behavior. Each of the five domains reflects an area mandated for assessment and intervention for young children in IDEA. The domains can be assessed independently, so examiners may test only the domains that interest them or test all five domains when a measure of general development is desired. The DAYC-2 format allows examiners to obtain information about a child's abilities through observation, interview of caregivers, and direct assessment.
Age range: Birth through 5 years
Publication date: 2012
Notice: Individuals should administer only those tests for which they have the appropriate training and expertise. This test requires a PRO-ED, Inc Level B qualification.
