The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III) is one of the most widely used individually administered instruments to assess the developmental functioning of infants and young children from 1 month to 42 months of age (Bayley, 2006).  The primary purpose of the Bayley-III is to identify children with developmental delay and to provide information for intervention implementation. It consists of three administered scales: Cognitive, Language and Motor Scales and two parent or primary caregiver completed scales that are combined into the Social-Emotional and Adaptive Behaviour Questionnaire. 

This book provides an introduction into use of the Bayley-III in each of the five key developmental domains.  Test content, administration, scoring, interpretation, strengths / concerns, and applications in clinical populations are discussed. Each chapter examines a case study demonstrating typical performance of a child with delays in one of the five developmental domains. The book is an invaluable resource for professionals who implement the Bayley-III in their clinical practice to evaluate the development of infants and toddlers from multiple perspectives including psychology, speech and language, and occupational therapy
