![]() The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development is a widely used instrument that assesses five developmental domains: cognitive, communicative (receptive and expressive communication), motor (fine and gross motor skills), socio-emotional, and adaptive behavior. The third edition (Bayley-III) has remained the "gold standard" for evaluating child development from birth to 3.5 years old globally, as noted by Bayley (2006), Yue et al. (2019), and Del Rosario et al. (2021). The latest edition (IV) is considered to have the highest clinical sensitivity and accuracy, according to Bayley and Aylward (2019). However, it has not been thoroughly studied in populations other than US children. There are currently four editions of this instrument available. The assessment utilizes an efficient administration design that relies on age-based starting points, reverse principle, and discontinuation criteria. As one of the most widely used tools for assessing child development, the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development remains a valuable resource in the field.
