DAYC-2 General Instructions & Administration
1. Prior to administering the DAYC-2 with Diego, what must you do?
A) Bill for the therapy services
B) Make recommendations about the plan of care
C) Initiate an outside referral
D) Read the full administration instructions ✓
Rationale: The DAYC-2 manual explicitly states it is recommended that examiners read
the complete administration instructions before administering the assessment.
Familiarity with standardized procedures is essential for valid administration .
2. What is the purpose of the DAYC-2 assessment tool? (Select all that apply)
A) To identify a child who is significantly below peers in cognitive,
communication, social-emotional, physical, and adaptive behavior abilities ✓
B) To monitor a child's progress in special intervention programs ✓
C) To diagnose a child's specific speech and language disorder
Rationale: The DAYC-2 is designed to identify children significantly below peers across
five developmental domains and to monitor progress in intervention programs. It is not
intended as a standalone diagnostic tool for specific disorders .
,3. If a child receives a 0 on any of the first three items administered in a domain,
you should test backward until the child scores 1 on three items in a row. This level
is called the:
A) Basal ✓
B) Ceiling
C) Entry point
D) Challenge
Rationale: The basal is established when a child scores 1 on three consecutive items. If
the child scores 0 on any of the first three items, the examiner tests backward until the
basal is achieved .
4. The ceiling is established when:
A) Three consecutive items receive a score of 1
B) Three consecutive items receive a score of 0 ✓
C) The child exhibits frustration with the testing item
D) The child exceeds the examiner's expectations
Rationale: The ceiling is reached when three consecutive items receive a score of 0,
indicating the upper limit of the child's ability within that domain .
5. Select the correct scoring rules for this assessment. (Select all that apply)
A) Score 0 if the child does not exhibit the behavior described or exhibits the
behavior inconsistently ✓
B) Score 0 if the child does exhibit the behavior described most of the time or did
when they were younger but has outgrown the behavior
C) Score 1 if the child does exhibit the behavior described most of the time
or did when they were younger but has outgrown the behavior ✓
D) Score 1 if the child does not exhibit the behavior described or exhibits the
behavior inconsistently
,Rationale: Scoring rules specify that 1 is given when the child exhibits the behavior
most of the time or has outgrown it, while 0 is given when the child does not exhibit the
behavior or does so inconsistently .
6. A unique aspect of this assessment is that items from multiple domains may be
scored by observing a child participate in a single activity. This aspect may impact
administering items in sequential order because:
A) Items must always be administered in strict sequential order
B) Items may not be administered or scored in sequential order as examiners
can use observation and parent interview ✓
C) Sequential order is required for valid results
D) Only direct observation can be used for scoring
Rationale: The DAYC-2 allows for flexibility in administration since multiple domains can
be observed during a single activity. Examiners may use parent interview, direct
observation, or naturalistic observation to establish basal and ceiling levels .
7. Which methods may examiners use to establish basal and ceiling levels? (Select
all that apply)
A) Interview a parent about skills near the child's entry point ✓
B) Prompt a child until they are successful with each item
C) Directly observe the child's behaviors and record scores as they naturally
occur ✓
D) Record scores for all skills observed in case these are needed to establish
the basal or ceiling ✓
Rationale: The DAYC-2 allows multiple methods for establishing basal and ceiling levels,
including parent interview, direct observation, and recording observed skills. Prompting
until success is not appropriate for standardized administration .
, 8. Occasionally, items above the ceiling are administered to gather information
about a child's performance. Even if a child passes some of these items, they are
counted as:
A) Correct
B) Incorrect
C) Not tested ✓
D) Statistically significant
Rationale: Items administered above the ceiling are not counted as correct or incorrect
for scoring purposes. They are considered "not tested" in the calculation of raw scores .
9. What is the recommended time for completion of the Diego DAYC-2 simulation?
A) 30 minutes
B) 60 minutes
C) 90 minutes ✓
D) 120 minutes
Rationale: The Simucase simulation recommends 90 minutes for completion of the
Diego DAYC-2 Part-Task Trainer .
10. At what age does the DAYC-2 assess children?
A) Birth to 3 years
B) Birth through 5 years (0-60 months) ✓
C) 2 to 6 years
D) 3 to 8 years
Rationale: The DAYC-2 is designed to assess development in children from birth
through 5 years of age (60 months) across five developmental domains .
11. How many developmental domains does the DAYC-2 assess?
