PURPOSE: To assess the psychometric properties of available developmental assessments for infants, aged 0-24���months.
METHODS: A scoping review was conducted using the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews as a guideline. The following four databases: Medline, CINAHL, Embase, and Web of Science were used to retrieve articles. Assessments were analyzed for psychometric properties of reliability and validity. : Fifteen developmental assessments were identified and evaluated based on their psychometric properties from 20 number of articles.
RESULTS: Three assessments including Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development 3rd Edition (BSID-III), Caregiver Reported Early Development Instruments (CREDI), and Ages and Stages Questionnaire 3rd Edition (ASQ-3), were identified to have the most supporting evidence.
CONCLUSION: This study provided clinicians with an updated list of all-encompassing infant developmental assessments. Certain assessments require additional evidence regarding their psychometric properties to substantiate their clinical utility.
