On-Demand Webinar: Conducting Developmental Assessments Using the DP®-4
Description of On-Demand Webinar
The Developmental Profile 4 (DP®-4), authored by Gerald Alpern, PhD, is a revision of the Developmental Profile 3 (DP®-3). This well-established measure of development, along with its previous versions, has long been considered by users as quick, easy, informative, reliable, and valid. It is designed to assess the development and functioning of individuals from birth through 21 years, 11 months and allows for evaluation of a child’s development across both home and school settings, from the perspectives of different respondents. This webinar will explain effective use of the DP-4 in a variety of settings to provide a detailed account of a child’s developmental strengths and weaknesses, while simultaneously identifying developmental delays and highlighting the areas for targeted intervention.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this on-demand webinar, the learner will be able to:
- Identify the features of a developmental delay in children;
- Describe the principles of use, psychometric properties, administration, scoring, and interpretation of the DP-4; and
- Explain the relevance of the DP-4 in developmental assessment.
