DCD Parent Interview Form: The parent is asked to describe performance in each of the adaptive skill areas and then estimate independence using labels that refer to how much help is needed. The rating labels correspond to the four criteria-based labels (e.g., intermittent, pervasive, etc.), but parents may find them more accessible.

DCD Teacher Interview Form: The teacher is asked to describe performance in each of the adaptive skill areas and then estimate independence using labels that refer to how much help is needed. The rating labels correspond to the four criteria-based labels (e.g., intermittent, pervasive, etc.).

DCD Student Interview Form: Gathers data on interests, social activity, school performance, and home living.

Adaptive Skills Parent Rating Form: The parent is asked to estimate independence in each of the adaptive skill areas using the criteria-based labels of intermittent, limited, extensive/frequent, and pervasive.

DCD Oberservation Form: This form should be completed as a team after multiple observers have completed separate observations. The team shares results from their observations and completes this form together to determine the most accurate picture of the student's functioning.

Additional Resources: Additional forms the team may choose to use when planning for DCD evaluation.
