This article provides a review of contemporary instruments for the developmental assessment of children aged 0–4 years and their applicability for children with special needs. The issues involved in the developmental assessment of children with special needs are discussed, and, on the basis of these issues, various instruments are then evaluated.Method:A literature search was carried out for articles about or using standardized developmental assessment instruments for children aged 0–4 years.Results:Eighteen instruments were found, of which 2 were nonverbal and 2 were designed for motor-impaired children. The instruments varied in terms of their suitability for children with special needs.Conclusion:The range of instruments is limited, especially for children younger than 2 years of age. Instruments for children with motor or hearing/language impairments are available, but their psychometric properties need to be researched and improved. For children with a visual impairment, no appropriate instrument is currently available.

To effectively plan for services for young handicapped children, early objective developmental assessments are necessary. Although caution must be exercised in their use, assessment measures for infants can help to prevent, ameliorate, or uncover the difficulties that the handicapped child might face. By using a battery of assessments, a profile of the child's abilities, strengths, weaknesses, and disabilities is yielded.

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the developmental assessment of young children second edition (DAYC-2) Scale in detecting Developmental Delay among Jordanian children aged birth to 71 months. Firstly, the scale was translated and reviewed for language and cultural appropriateness. Secondly, the Arabic Jordanian version of the scale was administrated to children diagnosed as developmental delay aged from birth to 48 months in the neurodevelopmental pediatric clinic in Jordan university hospital, and on children aged 48 to 71 months who were diagnosed as developmental delay in special education centers in Capital Amman. The scale was administrated also to normal development children aged 0 to71months who visited the Institute for family health–Noor al Hussein foundation and attended preschools in Capital Amman. Total of 310 children aged (0-71months) were enrolled. Construct validity and discriminative validity were verified. Reliability was established through computing Kuder–Richardson Formula 20 (KR-20), test-retest, split half test methods.t-test showed that the scale discriminates between normally developed and developmentally delayed children. One-way ANOVA showed that age has significant effect on the performance of children favoring older age groups using Scheffé multiple comparisons test.Item efficacy was determined by calculating point-biserial correlation coefficients for all items in each domain. The results showed that the scale had good psychometric properties and was capable of detecting developmental delay in children aged from birth to 71 months in Jordan.

Mózgowe porażenie dziecięce jest złożoną grupą zaburzeń powstałych w wyniku uszkodzenia rozwijającego się mózgu. Dotychczas mózgowe porażenie dziecięce było rozpoznawane około 2 roku życia. Według najnowszych rekomendacji rozpoznanie mózgowego porażenia dziecięcego lub wysokiego ryzyka mózgowego porażenia dziecięcego możliwe jest w pierwszym półroczu życia. Do 5 miesiąca życia metodami o największej predykcyjności są ocena globalnych ruchów, the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination oraz badanie rezonansu magnetycznego. U starszych niemowląt natomiast stosuje się the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination, rezonans magnetyczny oraz skalę the Developmental Assessment of Young Children. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie zaleceń dotyczących wczesnego rozpoznania mózgowego porażenia dziecięcego i omówienie metod diagnostycznych.
