How long does it take and how many items are included?

How should results be interpreted?
Scores indicate developmental periods that may require closer review, not a definitive explanation of symptoms. Interpretation is most useful when combined with clinical history and other assessment data.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Developmental Age-Related Problems Test

This self-report questionnaire is designed to screen for perceived difficulties linked to age-related developmental tasks across childhood. Developmental Age-Related Problems can be used in clinical intake or case formulation to help identify developmental periods the respondent associates with unresolved challenges.

The measure contains 42 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Items ask the respondent to endorse statements reflecting common themes of developmental strain or unmet needs across successive age ranges, with results intended to highlight areas for follow-up assessment and clinical discussion.

Developmental Age-Related Problems is attributed to Michael Rutter in some sources. Scores should be interpreted cautiously and integrated with history, clinical interview, and other relevant measures; the instrument is not a stand-alone diagnostic tool.
