Purchasing the eDECA - A two-part annual purchase:
I. e-DECA Annual License Fee
II. e-DECA Ratings
The e-DECA now suggests research-based strategies for early childhood professionals and parents to enhance children's social and emotional health in an early learning environment and at home.
The e-DECA program requires an annual Web maintenance license and online electronic record forms. Each license allows one person full administrative access to the e-DECA data for her/his program. This "administrator" is also responsible for delegating the appropriate access privileges to the program's staff. Online electronic record forms can be purchased for use By-Administration or By-Child. The By Child Option allows the user an unlimited number of administrations per child per year. With either option, unused electronic forms can be carried over from one year to the next.
e-DECA 2.0 Purchasing Assistant
Purchasing e-DECA2.0 involves two parts. First, an annual license fee is required; second, the appropriate rating option must be selected. Two rating options are available:
- Option #1: By Child, allows for unlimited ratings throughout the year for a child at a flat cost of $2.95.
- Option #2: By Administration, is a cost of $1.00/rating administration.
The calculator below will help you in determining which rating option is most cost effective for your program based on how many times per year the teaching staff and families are expected to conduct an assessment rating on the children in your program.
Number of Children: ?
Teacher assessments per child: ?
Parent assessments per child: ?
Based on your scenario, we recommend the following:
Reminders:
- The Annual License Fee must be renewed yearly from the data of purchase. If you have questions about whether more than one license may be required for your organization, please email deca@devereux.org
- Unused Rating Options can be rolled over into the next year.
- If you have any questions about the recommended purchase, please call (800) 334-2104 and ask for Jennifer Lewis.

Devereux Early Childhood Assessment - Clinical Form
The Devereux Early Childhood Assessment-Clinical Form (DECA-C) is an assessment of resilience in preschoolers ages 2 to 5 with social and emotional problems or significant behavioral concerns. Whereas the DECA is designed to be used with all children to promote healthy social and emotional growth, the primary purpose of the DECA-C is to support early intervention efforts to reduce or eliminate significant emotional and behavioral concerns in preschool children. The DECA-C may also be used to guide interventions, help identify children needing special services, assess outcomes, and help programs meet Head Start, IDEA and similar standards.
The DECA-C Kit includes:
- DECA-C Record Forms (Set of 30)
- DECA-C Manual
- DECA-C Norms Reference Card
