TRACK LEVEL PERCENTILE BOUNDARY

On Track Top (The top 25%)

On Track Middle (The middle 50%)

Not on Track At Risk (The lowest 25% - not including the lowest 10%)

Not on Track Vulnerable (The lowest 10%)

• The Ontario Baseline cut-offs have been used to determine vulnerability.

• This allows us to measure our local vulnerability in relation to the average distribution of scores across the province.

% VULNERABLE BY DOMAIN:2011


• Low on 1 or more reflects the prevalence of vulnerability

• Low on 2 or more reflects the depth of vulnerability

• The proportion of children vulnerable on 1 or more domains is higher than the province (33% vs. 28%)

• However, the proportion of children vulnerable on 2 or more is lower (10% vs. 14%)

LOW ON 1 OR 2 DOMAINS: 2011

LOW IN 1 OR 2 DOMAINS

• Vulnerability on 1 or more domains has increased and is above the provincial average (28.0%).

• Vulnerability on 2 or more domains has decreased and is less than the provincial average (13.9%).


EDI SUB-DOMAINS• EDI domains are broken down

into sub-domains

• Based on the skills and abilities within each sub-domain, children’s scores were identified as meeting the developmental expectations by the following categories: All / Almost All Some Few / None

• Of particular interest are children who are meeting Few or None of the developmental expectations.

• An investigation of the proportion of children who fall into the Few/None category will identify areas of the greatest weakness in the population.
