Presentation at the Division of Early Childhood (DEC) Conference,
December 8, 1998, Chicago, IL

We gave a presentation describing the current work of our Institute at the Division of Early Childhood (DEC) Conference in Chicago on December 8, 1998. We have reproduced the slides from this presentation below.

Important Note: While staff of the Early Childhood Research Institute on Measuring Growth and Development encourage dissemination of the project's goals and products, we kindly ask to receive credit whenever our work is displayed or disseminated to others.

We also strongly caution against actual use of the indicators we are testing to monitor the developmental growth of young children and/or assess the effectiveness of interventions. These indicators are still in development, with ongoing data being collected to see if these measures meet all of the criteria required of valid and reliable assessment tools.
