What is the Desired Results System?
An accountability and progress assessment system for:
- children in infant/toddler, preschool, and after-school programs funded by the Child Development Division of CDE
and- preschool-age children with IEPs (three, four, and
five year olds not enrolled in kindergarten)
10
Goals of the Desired Results System
Improve the results achieved for children and families
Provide information to support quality program improvement
Show how children across the state are progressing
Enable California’s preschool special education system to comply with federal reporting requirements
11
4 components of The Desired Results System for Child Development Programs
1. The DRDP assessment system of individual children’s developmental progress
2. Support of families’ goals (using parent surveys)
3. Assessment of children’s environments (using the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale)
4. Assessment of program quality (using the Coordinated Compliance Review Instrument – CCR)
Child Development Division (CDD)
Special Education Division(SED)
Desired Results Developmental Profile - Revised (DRDP-R) for:
• Infant/toddler
• Preschool
• School-age
• Preschool Desired Results Developmental Profile – Revised (for Children with
IEPs) (PS DRDP-R)
• Desired Results Developmental Profile access (DRDP access)

An Important Note about thePS DRDP-R for Children with IEPs
SED has different reporting requirements than CDD, so a version of the PS DRDP-R was developed with special instructions for special education
The content of this instrument is the same as CDD’s PS DRDP-R
The only changes in this version are:- instructions on the use of adaptations, and - instructions and forms for special educators

IEP Team Responsibilities
Determines which instrument to use for each child (one time only)
Documents the adaptations that each child uses
16
IEP Teams:Clarification on Team Decisions
IEP Teams cannot change instruments for a particular child once data has been submitted
IEP Teams can write an addendum to the IEP if the team wants to change it’s determination……as long as data for the first assessment has not yet been submitted or reported
17
Assessor Responsibilities
Observes each child over time and collaborates with other programs, service providers, and families to collect additional documentation
Twice a year: rates the DRDP Measures and submits a Rating Record and Information Page - Fall (November – December)- Spring (April – May)
Maintains a copy of the Rating Record and Information Page
18
Clarification on Assessors
Assessors are: Credentialed classroom special education
providers IEP service providers, e.g. special education
teacher, speech therapist, and other itinerant staff who serve as the primary service provider
19
Clarification onChildren who Must be Assessed
Every three, four, and five year old child with an IEP who receives preschool special education services (regardless of setting or level of service) must be assessed two times a year using either the PS DRDP-R or the DRDP access.
The eligible child must begin preschool services:- before November 1 to be included in the Fall
assessment- before April 1 to be included in the Spring
assessment

Description versus Interpretation
Description (Objective) What are the specific
details? What you actually
observe.
Example: She is sitting cross legged
Interpretation (Subjective)
What were your initial reactions?
Things you felt about what you observe.
Example: She looks like she might be mad
57
Key Points:Description and Interpretation
When making descriptive observations:- Strive to be objective, specific, and complete- Avoid labels when describing behavior- Be aware of your biases
When analyzing your interpretations:- Identify questions that may be answered in
further observations and inquiry
58
Basic Considerationswhen Observing Children
Materials or toys that a child can easily see, grasp, and manipulate should be available
Observations should take place in familiar places, by a familiar adult and with familiar toys or materials
Hearing aids or cochlear implants should be checked to ensure that they are functioning properly
Glasses or contacts should be worn, if needed Children should be allowed adequate time to
complete any task they are engaged in, even if they are slower than their peers in task completion
59
Strategies for Naturalistic Observation
Know the instrument Use appropriate adaptations Observe objectively Observe strategically Observe variety and consistency Observe naturally Observe daily Plan ahead
60
Documenting Your Observations
Use documentation strategies that work for you
Documentation is invaluable for progress monitoring, planning, and communicating with families, however, you do not need to submit your documentation of observations as a part of the DRDP data reporting
There are tips for documentation in the Guide to Using the DRDP Assessment System for Preschool Special Education
61
Sources of Documentation
1. Direct observations
2. Portfolios
3. Observations of others
4. Curriculum based tools
62
Portfolios
Anecdotal notes Children’s work
samples Photos of children’s
activities Audio or video
recordings Transcripts of
children’s language
63
Electronic Portfolio
64
DRDP Indicator Portfolio
65
Collecting Documentation
1. Direct observations
2. Portfolios
3. Observations of others
4. Curriculum based tools
66
Obtaining Information from Others
Seek input from people who have ongoing contact with the child to obtain the most complete and accurate picture of the child
Collaboration is especially critical when the assessor has limited contact with the child
Parent report is valid and reliable
67
Strategies for Collaboration
Work with your partners to jointly plan: Which aspects of the child’s behavior you
will observe directly and the behaviors that the others will observe to inform the rating
How you will share observations and rate the measures
A timeline for completing the ratings that is acceptable to all
68
Collecting Documentation
1. Direct observations
2. Portfolios
3. Observations of others
4. Curriculum based tools
69
Additional Assessments
Observations of a child’s behavior that informed a recent curriculum based tool might also inform the rating of Measures on the DRDP
Observations that led to scores on other curriculum based tools can be used if: - the behavior occurred within the child’s typical
daily routine, and - was not the result of a contrived testing situation
70
Strategies for Efficient Observation
Plan observations so you can observe more than one child at a time
Observe for more than one Measure
71
Possible Measures on the “R” that might be informed by the clip of Isaac
Measure 6: Building Cooperative Play with Other Children (SOC4)
Measure 11: Shared use of Space and Materials (REG3)
Measure 16: Curiosity and Initiative (LRN 1)
Measure 17: Engagement and Persistence (LRN 2)
Measure 19: Cause and Effect (COG2)
Measure 20: Engages in Problem Solving (COG3)
Measure 35: Fine Motor Skills (MOT2)
72
3 Steps to Using theDRDP Instruments
Step 1: Collect documentation
Step 2: Rate the Measures
Step 3: Finalize the assessment
73
Process for Rating the Measures
First: Mark the highest level of mastery
Then: Consider if the child is emerging to the next level and mark Emerging if appropriate
In the rare circumstance that you are unable to rate a child, complete the Unable to Rate section of the Rating Record
74
What is Mastery?
Behaviors are considered mastered if the child demonstrates them
It’s as easy as C D E:
Consistently over time,
in Different settings, and
Easily and confidently.
75
Determining the Highest Level of Mastery
Carefully read the Descriptors Consider which level is most consistent with
your observations and other documentation
76
Notes about Mastery
A child may occasionally behave at a higher or lower level, but mastery indicates the level that the child most typically demonstrates
Sometimes, a child might seem to exhibit inconsistent behavior across the observation period so the level might be unclear; in this case, rate the child’s most typical level of solid mastery
77
What about the Examples?
Examples illustrate the Descriptors, but are “only examples”
Many behaviors you might observe in determining a child’s developmental level may not be listed as Examples
78
Indicate the level of MasteryIndicate the level of Mastery(in the Manual) (in the Manual)
Indicate the level of MasteryIndicate the level of Mastery(on the Rating Records) (on the Rating Records)
80
Using the “Not Yet” Rating Option
Most of the Measures on the DRDP access capture children’s development beginning at birth or in early infancy
Other Measures that begin at preschool age have a rating option of “Not Yet” to indicate that the child has not yet mastered the behaviors described for the first Developmental Level
If you determine that the child has not yet mastered the first Developmental Level that is described, select the “Not Yet” rating
81
Notes about “Not Yet”
PS DRDP-R: • The “Not Yet” rating
option appears on all Measures
DRDP access: The “Not Yet” rating
option appears on 7 preschool-age Measures
82
Seven Measures on DRDP access have the “Not Yet” option
Measure 9: SOC 6 (Conflict Negotiation)
Measure 15: REG 5 (Taking Turns)
Measure 29: MATH 4 (Shapes)
Measure 33: MATH 8 (Patterning)
Measure 35: LIT 2 (Concepts of Print)
Measure 38: LIT 5 (Emerging Writing)
Measure 39: LIT 6 (Comprehension of Text)

85
The “Emerging” rating option
“Emerging” is an optional rating If the child is demonstrating some behaviors
described for the next higher level (although not yet easily or consistently across settings) than your rating of the child’s highest level of mastery, he or she may be “Emerging”
86
Important Notes about “Emerging”
You must mark the level of Mastery before indicating that the child is Emerging to the next level
A child cannot be rated as “Emerging” if the child is rated: - as “Not Yet,” or- at the highest Developmental Level
Indicating that the child is Emerging to the next level does not affect your rating of Mastery

Notes about “Unable to Rate”
In the rare circumstance that you are unable to rate a child on a measure, indicate:- “Unable to Rate," and - Either “absence” or “other” as the reason why
you are Unable to Rate
90
Additional Observations
If you are unable to rate a Measure because you don’t have enough information,
you should make additional observations

Using AdaptationsUsing Adaptations
100
What are Adaptations?
Adaptations are changes in the environment or changes in observed behavior that allow children with disabilities to participate in the same assessment as their peers
Adaptations have been developed so that the DRDP more accurately reflects the child's abilities rather than the impact of the child's disability
Adaptations may be used with the PS DRDP-R, the DRDP access, and in any educational setting
101
More about Adaptations
Adaptations need to be in place for the child during the typical course of the day; they are NOT strategies used only for the purposes of assessment
Assessors must ensure that adaptations are in place for any observation that informs the DRDP assessment
Adaptations are not: Teaching strategies such as hand-over-hand
guidance, prompting, or modeling
102
DRDP Adaptations
1. Augmentative or alternative communication system
2. Alternative mode for written language
3. Visual support
4. Assistive equipment or device
5. Functional positioning
6. Sensory support
7. Alternative response mode
103
Augmentative or Alternate Communication Systems
104
Augmentative or Alternate Communication Systems
Another system of communication should be used when the child cannot use spoken language, for example:
- Picture cards- Electronic communication devices- Sign language
105
Use of Augmentative or Alternate Communication Systems
Assessors should: Use these systems as part of the
observation and not just to elicit responses Observe the child using language in a
natural context rather than contriving an adult-directed situation
106
Alternative Mode for Written Language
107
Alternative Mode for Written Language
If a child cannot see or cannot hold a pencil or marker, an adaptation may be used to assist in writing or emerging writing, for example:
- Braillewriter- keyboard, or - computer
108
Visual Support
109
Visual Support
A child who does not see well might need visual supports in the environment
Any type of visual support is acceptable, including: - adjustments in contrast- adjustments in lighting- distance from objects- increased size of materials- verbal description of events
110
Assistive Equipment or Device
111
Assistive Equipment or Device
Any type of adaptive equipment or assistive device that the child needs for mobility, positioning or manipulating objects is acceptable, including:
- walkers - splints- special utensils- switches
112
Functional Positioning
113
Functional Positioning
Functional positioning allows the child the necessary stability to control his movements as much as possible
Functional positioning should enhance the child’s participation in typical routines and activities
114
Sensory Support
115
Sensory Support
Sensory support may be needed to allow a child to focus attention and learn in the daily environment
Sensory support may include: - reducing background noise- adjusting tactile stimulation- adjusting visual stimulation
116
Alternative Response Mode
117
Alternative Response Mode
Some children demonstrate skills in different ways than their typical peers.For example, - the child with autism may look out of the corner of
his eye instead of establishing direct eye contact- the child with a physical impairment may
demonstrate atypical movement patterns
The form of a child’s response may differ from that of his peers and still may demonstrate mastery
118
Two Last Notes about Adaptations
The adaptations used for the child must be recorded on the IEP and may be revised at each IEP meeting
The adaptations used must also be marked on the Information Page when submitting the DRDP results
