The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-Third Edition (Bayley-III; Bayley, 2005) may be used to identify developmental delays, chart a child's progress, and teach parents about the child's development. The test is designed to be used with children ages 1 to 42 months. It consists of five scales: Cognitive, Language (Receptive and Expressive), Motor (Fine and Gross), Social-Emotional, and Adaptive Behavior (Conceptual, Social, and Practical). It also includes a test observations measure to aid in intervention planning. This addition includes growth scores, index scores (standard scores), subtest scaled scores, and percentiles. The Adaptive Behavior scale of the Bayley-III was adapted from the Parent/Primary Caregiver form of the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System-Second Edition (ABAS-II; Harrison & Oakland, 2003).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
