Bayley-III Workshops

The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development is used to identify deficits in very young children across five major developmental domains: cognitive, language, motor, adaptive behaviour and social-emotional. This scale is ideal for use when delays or problems in early development are suspected to determine whether further assessment is required. It indicates strengths, weakness and competencies so that parents and professionals can properly plan for the child.

The Bayley-III Workshops are conducted by Dr Frances Gibson, who holds the position of Lecturer at the Institute of Early Childhood, Macquarie University, Sydney. Dr Gibson has considerable experience as a psychologist in the areas of child development, developmental disability and the assessment of infants and preschoolers.

  What is the Bayley-III Assessment?  

The Bayley Scales of Infant Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III) is recognised internationally as one of the most comprehensive tools to assess children from as young as one month old. With Bayley-III, it is possible to obtain detailed information even from non-verbal children as to their functioning. Children are assessed in the five key developmental domains of cognition, language, social-emotional, motor and adaptive behaviour. The Bayley-III offers significant additions and improvements to the previous editions.

The link between assessment and intervention
The Bayley-III identifies infant and toddler strengths and competencies, as well as their weakness. It also provides a valid and reliable measure of a child's abilities, in addition to giving comparison data for children with high-incidence clinical diagnoses. Growth scores can be used to chart intervention progress, and it's useful in programme evaluation, ongoing monitoring of progress and outcome measurement.
