The updated Single Rating Report for e-DECA users: If your program uses the web based e-DECA, please take a few minutes to see the new format of the Single Rating Report. Changes include a color-coded Individual Child Profile with a child’s Strengths in Green, Typical scores in Blue, and Areas of Need in Red. In addition, the report no longer includes the raw scores, which makes it easier to interpret and share results with colleagues and families. The new and improved Single Rating Report is included on pages 2-4 in this e-DECA Sample Reports Packet!
