Identify infants and young children who may benefit from early intervention. Identify children from birth through 5 years who may have possible delays in cognition, communication, social-emotional development, physical development, and adaptive behavior. Administer each of the five subtests separately or as a comprehensive battery in 10 to 20 minutes. Each of the five domains measured reflects an area mandated for assessment and intervention in IDEA for young children. Tailor the assessment to clients' needs by assessing any combination of the five domains. The test's format ables you to obtain information about a child's abilities through observation, caregiver interviews, and direct assessment.
