DRDP
The Desired Results Developmental Profile is a formative assessment instrument developed by the California Department of Education for young children and their families to be used to inform instruction and program development.
It is administered every year to infants, toddlers, preschool, TK, and K students with IFSPs or IEPs. Any student who will be turning 6 at any point during the academic year (7/1-6/30) will not be required to have a DRDP completed for Fall or Spring. Below is additional information and resources about the assessment, timelines, and training required to administer it.
