In order to address a key obstacle in ensuring that children attain their optimal developmental potential, a DEvelopmental assessment on an E-Platform (DEEP) has been created comprising distinct games woven into a narrative. Results show high levels of its acceptability and validity against gold standard cognitive assessments. Such a tool has the potential to be administered at scale and aid in the identification of children who are impaired in their cognitive development thereby facilitating their timely referral to appropriate interventions.
