Frequently Asked Question:

What is the Bayley-III assessment?

Answer:

The full name of the test is Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III). The child is asked to do a number of activities to see if their thinking, language, and moving (sitting, walking) skills are similar to children their own age. The Bayley-III has three major parts that are tested with the child: Cognitive, Language, and Motor. The parent completes a Questionnaire that looks at the child's Social-Emotional and Adaptive Behavior development. The scores that come from the assessment indicate how well the child performed compared to a group of children within the same age range from across the United States.
