Neurological fx - tone, posture, movement
Expressive fx - gross, fine, oral motor; mvmt; verbal
Receptive fx - visual, auditory, verbal
Cognitive processing - object permanence, goal-directed behavior, problem solving
Norm referenced
Difficulty in midrange determinant for more testing
Low, medium, or high risk for neurological impairment
Denver Developmental Screening Test II (DDST)
Very commonly used among pediatricians
Birth - 6.5 years
Measures personal-social, fine motor, gross motor, language
Could be asked OR performed
Norm referenced
Not good for children that have an overt condition; better for children with a delay
Ages and Stages Questionnaire
4 months - 5 years
Measures communication, fine motor, gross motor, problem solving, personal social
Given to parents to answer
Some question ability to ID children (dec. sensitivity)
Norm referenced
Tests of Motor Function
Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP)
Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS)
Peabody Developmental Motor Scale II (PDMS II)
Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency II (BOT-II)
Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP)
Premature infants, 34 weeks gestation - 4 months post-term
Measures postural control and alignment needed for functional activities in early infancy. Responses against gravity
Separates infants by ability, assess risk for poor motor outcome as related to perinatal medical conditions
Norm referenced
Limited to NICU, high-risk clinics, EI
Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS)
Birth to independent walking (0-18 months)
Assessment of WB, posture, and anti-gravity movement - sequential development in supine, prone, sitting, and standing
Norm referenced
Use percentiles with caution 18 months
Peabody Developmental Motor Scale (PDMS-II)
Birth - 72 months
Measures comprehensive sequence of fine and gross motor skills (can be done separately)
Norm and criterion referenced
Allows identification of emerging skills
Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency II (BOT-II)
4 years - 21 years
Measures fine and gross motor skills in order to make decisions about educational and therapeutic placement
Commonly used for higher level gross motor skills and older children and to evaluate motor training programs
Requires large testing space
Norm referenced
Tests for the Neonate
Apgar
Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS or Brazelton)
Infanib
Comprehensive tests
Examines the whole child across ALL DOMAINS of development, including language, personal-social, fine motor, gross motor, self-help, and cognitive development
Bayley III
Early Intervention Developmental Profile (EIDP)
Hawaii Early Learning Profile (HELP)
Bayley Scale of Infant Development (BSID-II)
1 month - 42 months
Measures adaptive behavior, cognitive, language, social, emotional development; fine and gross motor skills
Commonly used to determine developmental delay and in research
Norm-referenced
Best standardized technique
Requires specialized training
Not great for very impaired
Early Intervention Developmental Profile (EIDP)
Birth - 36 months
Measures perceptual or fine motor, cognition, language, social or emotional, self-care, and gross motor development
Criterion referenced
Identifies strengths and weaknesses, does NOT identify handicap
Hawaii Early Learning Profile (HELP)
0-3, 3-6 years
Measures developmental framework that curriculum-based of 685 skills, evaluates cognition, language, gross/fine motor development, social emotional and self-help skills
Criterion referenced
Poor statistical support
Gives student a chance for emerging skills
Functional
Can be used to determine developmental delay and program planning
Functional Capability Tests
Assesses skills that are essential within the child’s natural environment, such as mobility, transfers, self-care, and social functioning
Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI)
Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFim)
Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI)
6 months - 7.5 years
Measures self care, mobility, and social function
Discriminative Purposes Norm referenced
Evaluative Purposes Criterion referenced
Interview OR observation format
Good for very impaired
Good for treatment planning
Takes into account alternative methods used by children to accomplish functional tasks
Administration: Professional judgment of structured interview
