Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale
NBAS or Brazelton
37-48 weeks gestational age
Criterion referenced
Assesses response to the environment

Screening tests
Intended to differentiate between typical and atypical
Bayley Infant Neurodevelopmental Screener (BINS)
Denver Developmental Screening Test II (DDST)
Ages and Stages Questionnaire
Bayley Infant Neurodevelopmental Screener (BINS)
Infants and 2-24 months
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
