Projects: Child Assessment

EAP-ECDS

The East Asia-Pacific Early Childhood Development Scales (EAP-ECDS) may be used for direct assessment of children ranging in age from 3 to 5 years. They are the first regional child assessment tool developed based on the culture and values of countries of a world region.

HKECDS

The Hong Kong Early Child Development Scale (HKECDS) was developed based on the context of Hong Kong. This Scale is a population level assessment of early childhood development.

ECDAS

The Early Childhood Developmental Assessment Scales (ECDAS) include the Developmentally on Track Assessment Scale and Caregiver Survey, the Early Childhood Development Assessment Scale-Direct Assessment (ECDAS-DA), and the Early Childhood Development Assessment Scale-Caregiver Survey (ECDAS-CS). These three tools are closely aligned with UNICEF’s recently released ECDI2030 and may be used to measure ECD in Asia.
