The Infant-Toddler Developmental Assessment (IDA-2)

…for all professionals working with infants, toddlers, and their families in a wide range of settings.

IDA and IDA2 are the best practice measure for infant toddler mental health assessment
 

 IDA-2:

  • Bridges the gap between screening and more complex tertiary level developmental evaluation.
  • Process guides collection and integration of data from multiple sources.
  • Considers the complexity and interdependence of health, family, and emotional & social factors that influence the child's development throughout the assessment process.
  • The developmental measure, the Provence Developmental Profile, covers the full range of child development and psycho-social skills, employs naturalistic observation, and incorporates parent report of the child’s development.
  • Results in a descriptive summary of developmental competencies that includes a performance age range with percentage delay and service plan.
  • Allows for effective short and long-term monitoring of individual children and aggregate reporting.
  • Meets all federal requirements of IDEA and aligns with OSEP Early Childhood Outcomes and Head Start Child Outcomes.

 

The IDA is a comprehensive holistic developmental assessment that results in an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP). See our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more.

 

The IDA is a set of processes and procedures that include the Provence Profile, a measure with eight developmental domains.  The IDA achieves greater depth in the essential psycho-social domains compared with other instruments.  It employs naturalistic observation and incorporates parent reports of the child’s development. The result is a descriptive summary of the child’s developmental competencies that includes a performance age range.

 

The IDA Institute provides IDA Training through Online or On-site seminars and a range of consultation options.
