Sexton, David; And Others

Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v21 n1 p16-24 Apr 1988

Investigated the criterion-related validity of the Battelle Developmental Inventory (BDI) when used with 70 handicapped children less than 30-months-old. Compared scores with those on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. Supported the validity convincingly using multivariate data analyses. Commends the BDI's value in assessing delays in development, and exhibition of problems in specific areas of development. (Author/KS)
