Australian Early Developmental Census (AEDC)
SECONDARY
The AEDC assesses broad childhood functional development at school entry (age 4 to 6) across 5 domains: physical health and wellbeing, social competence, emotional maturity, language and cognitive skills (school-based) and communication skills, and general knowledge. The primary AEDC outcome for this study was a global measure, developmental vulnerability, defined as scoring <10th percentile in ≥ 2 of the 5 developmental domains. The secondary outcomes included developmental vulnerability in each of the 5 domains.
