The D-score summarizes a child's performance on developmental milestones into a single number. Its key feature is its generic nature. The method does not depend on a specific measurement instrument. The statistical method underlying the D-score is described in van Buuren et al. (2025) <doi:10.1177/01650254241294033>. This package implements model keys to convert milestone scores to D-scores; maps instrument-specific item names to a generic 9-position naming convention; computes D-scores and their precision from a child's milestone scores; and converts D-scores to Development-for-Age Z-scores (DAZ) using age-conditional reference standards.
