Helping children make a distinct mark through better assessment in all five IDEA areas.
Even when a child can’t speak, he can tell us something. How he feels. How he thinks. How he interacts with the world around him. And we need to know how to read the signs. With Bayley-III, you can. You have a comprehensive tool for identifying, measuring, and assessing a child’s development.
For over 20 years, professionals working with infants and toddlers have relied on the proven Bayley Scales of Infant Development. And today, they have even greater reason to do so. With the new Bayley–III, professionals have the most comprehensive assessment tool for determining developmental delays in children one month to 42 months old.
Bayley-III Complete Test
Easy to Use.
Hard to argue with.
Unlike other solutions that have manipulatives that can be cumbersome or time consuming, Bayley–III is easy to use and to transport. It’s also very easy to administer, and the results are exceedingly reliable. It is administered using a caregiver’s or parent’s involvement, allowing more input to be gathered from the child’s natural environment. Additionally, all assessment factors are based on the age of the child, allowing for more accurate developmental assessments.

Who can use Bayley–III?
You can.
You must have the ability, not just to administer the test, but to analyze and interpret the results. Qualified personnel will likely have training in the following areas:
- formal training in the use, administration and interpretation of standardized assessment tools and psychometrics
- supervised mental health and/or educational training specific to working with parents and assessing young children
- supervised training in infant and child development
Sample qualified personnel: psychologists, psychiatrists, speech and language therapists, occupational and physical therapists specializing in early intervention, early interventionists, social workers, developmental pediatricians, pediatric nurse practitioners. Those who qualify will most likely have at least a Master’s degree.
If you are an appropriately trained, experienced practitioner in these areas, you can benefit from using Bayley–III.
- Early intervention specialist
- Early childhood specialist
- Childhood development specialist
- Cross-disciplinary professional
