Abstract

ABSTRACT 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. Results: 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.
