The training will also analyse case studies and provide modification advice to clinicians required to administer the Bayley 4 to children who may have an impairment.

Learning Outcomes

After attending this session, participants will be able to:

• Demonstrate and discuss their understanding of the Bayley 4 assessment, including the standardisation project, assessment structure, assessment purpose and scoring options
• Administer and score a Bayley 4 assessment
• Interpret the results and discuss the findings of a Bayley 4 assessment 
• Understand the Bayley 4 diagnostic indicators and their clinical implications
• Assess a child with an impairment, ensuring any modifications to a Bayley 4 assessment are within standardised practice guidelines

Prerequisites

All participants will be required to:

• register on Pearson Clinical to receive a User Level (used to determine eligibility for this workshop)
• watch a 1-hour webinar before the live training and should obtain a pass of 70% or more on the pre-course quiz. 

In order to enrol in this training and use the Bayley-4 assessment, professionals must have a sound understanding of child development and should have a user level of B or C. A basic understanding of psychometric testing and research methods/statistics is assumed, and professionals are recommended to enrol in User Level B Training if research methods and statistics have not been covered in their professional training.

Note: The two-day training on the Bayley 4 is strongly recommended for all professionals who intend to use the assessment and are not a User Level C.
