Understanding the Early Years


	General Results/Special Skills/Special Problems The EDI asks questions around the issue of special skills that a child may have. More specifically, the EDI asks if a child demonstrates any special skills or talents in numeracy, literacy, art, music, athletics/dance, problem solving and/or other areas. The results indicate that children in Ottawa have between zero and seven special skills with an average of 0.69 special skills per child.

The UEY project was developed with funding from the Government of Canada under the Understanding the Early Years Initiative and is managed by Success By 6.
