  • A lack of proper assessment is proven to cause either a misrepresentation or lack of representation for children of culturally diverse and lower socioeconomic backgrounds. In addition, there can be delays in authorization of early intervention services for children of unique populations who need such services. Alternative assessment contributes to sociocultural theory in that it demonstrates that children perform in changing environments, with different styles and approaches and with different types of measurement tools. The purpose of this qualitative, descriptive multiple case study was to provide explored feedback of licensed clinicians concerning the administering of the Developmental Assessment of Younger Children-2 (DAYC-2) and whether or not they determined the DAYC-2 to be an appropriate instrument to assess children aged of zero to four years for developmental delays, and giftedness. A purposive sampling was used to select a sample of three licensed pediatric occupational therapists/clinicians having had at least six years of experience working directly with children of such a population, that were located in the Los Angeles County, CA area. The qualitative data were gathered simultaneously through detailed and organized open-ended questions during interviews with licensed clinicians. The data were transcribed and open coding system similar to NVIVO coding procedures was applied to assist with organizing specific themes and categories. Three themes emerged from the perspectives of licensed clinicians: (a) appropriateness of the DAYC-2, (b) children's culture and socioeconomic level, and (c) experience of clinicians. A cross-case analysis was also used in order to identify possible similarities related to each participant's perception. Recommendations for future research were suggested increase the demand for more developmentally appropriate assessments for children ages zero to four with developmental delays and possible signs of giftedness.
