||||||||||||||||
Ages and Stages III
In Spanish Time: 10 – 15 minutes |
Parent-reported screening questionnaire used to determine developmental milestones achieved and identify children at risk for developmental delay. Domains include: Communication, Gross Motor, Fine Motor, Problem Solving, and Personal-Social.
Could be used to compare proportion of children ‘at-risk’ for delays across domains or the developmental age that children are performing at for milestones. |
Validated 1-66 months |

Bayley Scales of Infant & Toddler Dev. III
In Spanish Time: 20-30 minutes |
Direct, manipulation-based assessment and parent-report measures of early childhood development across broad domains. Direct assessment, manipulative-based domains: cognitive, physical/motor, and language. Parent-report domains include: social-emotional (two questionnaires; including adaptive behavior).
Can be used to compare children’s development across domains and chart child’s developmental change across all domains over time. |
Validated 1 to 42 months |

Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire
In Spanish Time: 5 minutes |
Parent-reported “symptom” measure of children’s emotional and behavior problems, with good ability to discriminate between psychiatric and non-psychiatric populations. Report of emotional problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity, peer problems, and prosocial behaviors.
Can be used to compare children’s emotional and behavioral problem behaviors across multiple domains of psychosocial adjustment and a child’s problem behavior over time. Provides cutoff scores to indicate clinically relevant problem behavior. |
Validated from 2 years – 17 years of age |

Peabody Developmental Motor Scales II
Not in Spanish from developer, but only needs translated instructions
Time: 30 minutes |
In-depth direct, manipulation/play-based assessment of motor skills. The Peabody captures more subtypes of children’s motor development than the Bayley, and would provide a more “full phenotype” developmental assessment in the area of early childhood physical and motor development.
Can be used to compare children’s development across full domain of physical/motor. Provides “age equivalent” scores and percentile ranks. |
Validated 1 month – 60 months |

Parenting Stress Index SF-IV
In Spanish Time: 10 minutes |
Self-report of stress related to parenting across three domains: parental distress (characteristics of parent), parent-child dysfunctional interaction (characteristics of the parent-child relationship), and difficult child (characteristics of child). Can be used to compare raw scores of parenting stress; there are also studies that provide “clinical cutoffs” for what constitutes clinically stressful parenting that can be used for only research purposes (not for referral). |
Validated for adults of children aged 0-12 |
