DR Access Learn
The California Department of Education, Special Education Division requires DRDP training for all early childhood special educators who assess children with the DRDP. SELPAs are responsible for ensuring that all staff who administer the DRDP (2015) complete training.

- Complete the first course, “Using the DRDP (2015) for Special Education” (including a Demonstration of Rating Skills) and all courses in subsequent years.
- Assess eligible children with the DRDP even if courses are not yet completed.
