The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development is regarded as the most accurate early intervention assessment for a child’s development and can be administered from as young as one month of age. It allows us to identify delays early on and prompts intervention and treatment plans.
The Bayley allows the administering therapist to make recommendations about potential therapy interventions across relevant disciplines such as Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Speech Therapy.
Firstly, we will need a little more information about you and your child.
The assessment is a wide-ranging measurement of your child’s early development in several key areas:
- Cognition
- Language
- Social-emotional
- Motor
- Adapative behaviour
The screening is comprehensive, giving assessors a complete snapshot of your child’s abilities – including non-verbal children – which makes the assessment both cost and time effective.
The Bayley early development assessment is a helpful tool in diagnosing children aged from
1 month to 42 months (3.5 years) with developmental delays and disabilities and identifying the best early intervention services so they have every chance to succeed.

You will then be provided links to online intake forms and documents we need signed before commencing services.
All information is kept confidential!
Your child’s case will be screened and triaged by an Occupational Therapist, and placed on a waiting list. The faster you return the paperwork, the higher on the list you will be placed! Once a spot is available, we will contact you and book in a time. A non-refundable deposit is required at this time, and we will talk you through payment options further.
Once booked, just turn up about 10 minutes before your session time to settle in and get ready. Assessments take up to 2 hours to complete, and a comprehensive report is provided in the weeks that follow.
