Bayley scales of infant development  

Definition

  • The Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID-II), published by Psychological Corporation, are a set of scales that takes 45 minutes to administer and assess mental, physical, emotional, and social development. Because the scales provide an overall picture of the child's developmental status, they are often used to evaluate whether children are developing normally or may need further testing to determine if they need intervention or treatment of some kind.
