The DP-4 evaluates children’s functioning in just 20 to 40 minutes. It features norms-based standard scores, clear interpretive guidelines, and strong reliability and validity.

The DP-4 measures development across five scales:

  • Physical: Large- and small-muscle coordination, strength, stamina, flexibility, and sequential motor skills

  • Adaptive Behavior: Ability to cope independently with the environment—to eat, dress, work, use current technology, and take care of self and others

  • Social-Emotional: Interpersonal skills, social-emotional understanding, functioning in social situations, and the manner in which the child relates to peers and adults

  • Cognitive: Intellectual abilities and skills prerequisite for academic achievement

  • Communication: Expressive and receptive communication skills, including written, spoken, and gestural language
