Macarthur Communicative Development Inventory (MCDI)

The MacArthur Communicative Development Inventories (CDIs) are a pair of widely used parent-report instruments for assessing communicative skills in infants and toddlers. The CDIs are parent report instruments which capture important information about children's developing abilities in early language, including vocabulary comprehension, production, gestures, and grammar.

In YOUth, the Dutch version of the MCDI was used (N-CDI-1, N-CDI-2).
