Developmental Task Completion Code

Encode explicit task presentation, completion and decline flags without converting a declined task into a failed assessment.

Description

Distinguish unpresented, completed, declined and incomplete task records.

Developmental records distinguish calendar age, supplied age corrections, observation states, assent and privacy choices. A corrected age can be negative under supplied assumptions, and a missing response differs from an observed zero. A display mask changes presentation without protecting the underlying record.

Distinguish unpresented, completed, declined and incomplete task records.

When to use this tool

Use Developmental Task Completion Code when you already have presented, completed, declined and need to distinguish unpresented, completed, declined and incomplete task records.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter presented, completed, declined. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read code. Use the output convention below.

Disallow completed&&declined and require both false when not presented; return not-presented first, then completed, declined or incomplete.1

  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

  • No task, behavior, willingness, ability, reason or developmental status is inferred from the supplied flags.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use the complete observation or assessment method, age convention and consent context. Review source records and data protection together; local counts, labels and geometric measurements do not establish development, diagnosis or appropriate support.
