Developmental Programming for Infants and Young Children
The Early Intervention Developmental Profile (EIDP)
What is the EIDP?
• Developmental assessment for children from birth to 36 months
• An assessment designed for a team to use in planning intervention
• Not specifically diagnostic, but provides a range of development
Who Developed the EIDP?
• An interdisciplinary team including OT, PT, SLP, Psychologist, and Social Worker.
• Team was based at University of Michigan’s Institute for Study of Mental Retardation and Related Disabilities (ISMRRD Profile)
Purpose
• To identify strengths and weaknesses• Provide a developmental range• Identify emerging skills• Provides for periodic re-assessment• Bridge gap between assessment and
intervention
Format
• Parent-therapist collaboration in play based, informal assessment environment
• Train across disciplines so one professional can administer, score, and interpret findings with consultation from the key professional
Design
• Each of six domains reflects current developmental theory.
• Each of the items (299)within each domain were selected with careful analysis
Criteria for Item Selection: Validation of the Scales
FIRST: The item for inclusion must have appeared in 2 recognized scalesOR: it could be an original item if the construct to be assessed did not exist in another recognized scale
Criteria for Item Selection
• Each item reviewed by project staff member most knowledgeable
• Items selected had to represent all aspects of development (e.g. Language)
• Items selected needed to represent the developmental accomplishments for that range of development
Administration
1. Determine Chronological Age: In Months

CORRECTED AGE: FOR PREMATURITY
Administration
• Begin with interacting with child and parent
• What are we looking for in the front end?
Administration
• Proceed with Perceptual Fine Motor Scale
• Use the 1” cube item in the child’s age range OR in range you feel is closer to ability
P
Continue within this age range in P/FM
Then proceed to Cognition, Language, Gross Motor (much of the Self Care and Social Emotional items from parent/caregiver
report but also will observe some behaviors as well.
When Do I Stop Administration..…
• First: Establish Basal: the age range preceding the child’s earliest failure
• Second: Establish Ceiling: the age range containing the child’s highest passed item.
Basal
• From the first passed 1 “ cube item, continue with progressively EASIER items until:
– Passes 6 consecutive items OR– Passes all items in two consecutive age
ranges
Ceiling
• More difficult items from the initial passed item until child has failed
1. Six consecutive items2. Two age ranges
How do we get the Developmental Age?
• There is no D.A. in this assessment
• There is a Developmental Range
• The highest number of a sequence of passes, plot that on the profile graph
Pass or Fail……
• Pass (P): Criteria is met
• Fail (F): Criteria is not met
• Pass/Fail: (PF): Emerging skill
• O Ommitted
