Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a test battery for assessment — (Developmental Assessment of Young Children — Judith Voress and Taddy Maddox). The DAYC consists of five subtests that measure different but interrelated developmental abilities. The battery, which is designed for use with children from birth through age 6 years, was built to measure the five areas of assessment mandated by IDEA: cognition, communication, social-emotional development, physical development, and adaptive behavior. This instrument is a new one for Bulgaria. It is based on recent scientific formulations in the field of child development and deficits in mental development. A standardization procedure is in process. The paper discusses one of validation studies conducted and its results.
