Infrastructure Goals

The LEVANTE infrastructure has two key goals:

Goal 1: Measures

Create and disseminate an open-source, permissively-licensed set of developmental measures appropriate for the assessment of learning variability in children ages 2-12, including direct child assessment  and child and primary caregiver-report measures with good psychometric properties and evidence for measurement validity, internationalized across multiple  languages. 

Goal 2: Data sharing

Create the architecture for disseminating a large, well-curated, open dataset of longitudinal data from children ages 2-12 using these measures to characterize developmental variability within individuals, within groups, and across contexts.
