Bayley 4

The training is interactive and will introduce course participants to the newly released Bayley 4 and includes both video case studies and ‘live’ demonstrations with a young child. Participants will learn how to administer and score the Cognitive, Language and Motor scales as well as the Social Emotional Scale and the totally revised Adaptive Behaviour Scale. However additional practice in administering the test items will be required after the training in order for examiners to become fully competent Bayley testers.

The course director is Dr Audrienne Sammut
