| Summary: | Background: Developmental Evaluation (DE) continues to develop. After reviewing the niche and history of DE, this article identifies five new and emergent purposes for DE to add to the original five – and forecasts future developments for diverse, innovative, and adaptive DE applications.

Data Collection and Analysis: Not applicable.
