Learning and Development Inventory (formerly known as YDSL)
For more information on the Learning and Development Inventory (LDI) - (formerly known as YDSL), or on how LDI has been employed as a research tool in independent evaluations, contact Michael Ben-Avie, Ph.D., director of the Impact Analysis and Strategies Group at the Yale Child Study Center, at www.impactanalysis.org .
The Impact
Analysis and Strategies Group conducts independent, third-party evaluations
of programs that promote the learning and development of children and
young people. Our research is "action-based": The results are
immediately useful. We offer a wide range of data collection and evaluation
instruments. We deliver user-friendly reports in a timely manner. All
of our efforts are in the service of children's and young people's optimal
outcomes. Our research meets the highest standards for privacy, confidentiality,
and institutional oversight.
The Learning and Developmental Inventory (LDI) is an outgrowth
of over 10 years of research at the Yale Child Study Center, and is based
on the ideas of James P. Comer, M.D. that (1) children and adolescents
learn best in the context of supportive relationships, especially relationships
with caring and sensitive adults, and (2) children's development has a
profound effect on their ability to learn and achieve in school and in
any other environment.
