Should the DECA results be used to refer a child for a formal evaluation?
No assessment instrument should be used as the only criterion for referral. Although the DECA provides important referral information, multiple sources of information, including parental input, should influence the decision. A major piece of the information gathering process should be observation. For more information and guidance on using the DECA for referral purposes, please contact Devereux. For information on the DECA-C (Clinical version), contact Devereux.
