What is the DBC?
The DBC is a 96 item checklist that assesses a broad range of behavioural and emotional disturbances in young people with intellectual or developmental disability aged between 4 and 18 years. It is completed by parents or other primary carers or teachers. This should take no more than 15 minutes. The items were independently derived from a study of the medical files of 7000 intellectually disabled children and adolescents seen in a developmental assessment clinic.
