EDI SUB-DOMAINS• EDI domains are broken down
into sub-domains
• Based on the skills and abilities within each sub-domain, children’s scores were identified as meeting the developmental expectations by the following categories: All / Almost All Some Few / None
• Of particular interest are children who are meeting Few or None of the developmental expectations.
• An investigation of the proportion of children who fall into the Few/None category will identify areas of the greatest weakness in the population.
