F5R hosted a presentation on the Early Development Instrument (EDI) by Dr. Lisa Stanley from the UCLA Center for Healthier Children, Families and Communities; and Kimberly Goll and Tiffany Alva, both from the Children & Families Commission of Orange County (CFCOC). The purpose of this presentation was to provide an overview of the EDI, a population-based measure of early child development and school readiness in five key domains: physical health, social competence, emotional maturity, language and cognitive skills, and communications skills and general knowledge. The overview also included a description of the EDI, how data is collected, how it has been implemented nationally, and how communities are using the data.
