Determination of validity and reliability of the Bayley scales in infant and toddler development
Introduction: For diagnosing children who are suspected to have developmental delay through developmental screening tests, we need a valid and reliable diagnostic tool. The Bayley scales is a well-known diagnostic developmental assessment on cognitive, communication and motor domains. The aim of thi...

Pearson correlation coefficient in different domains, were at least 0.987 (P< 0.001) in test retest method; and 0.991 (P<0.001) in inter-rater method.
