Birth to Three Assessment

The National Infant-Toddler Assessment Handbook by Jane A. Caballero and Derek Whordley gives an overview of early childhood development and what skills to observe including nutrition. This comprehensive guide, designed for parents, teachers, and early learning programs, delivers effective monitoring of children’s behaviors and milestones. This handbook has a sample of the National Child Development Assessment form and instructions.

After assessing intellectual, psychological, and social progress, parents and teachers can develop an individual educational plan (IEP) for the child. Understanding how to evaluate children’s skills correctly will draw attention to potential developmental delays. Early action on identifiable deficiencies gives children the most potential for success and offers many benefits.
