This paper highlights six key phases of the Griffiths III revision process and the value of having a guiding plan that includes test practitioner input.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The revision of the Griffiths III consisted of six separate phases that were supported by practitioner and user input and feedback. These six phases and practitioner views ensured that the necessary core constructs and new areas for item development were included in the revised version. These processes also underscored the construct development and task review, item design, piloting and standardization of the revised version, as well as its production, release and subsequent training methods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The six guiding phases provided a methodologically robust frame to the revision process. Practitioners valued an overall developmental measure with discrete data about and within the \u2018avenues of learning\u2019 allowing them to analyse a child's strengths and weaknesses. Communication with practitioners across the world demonstrated the wide disparity of culture and environments that the Griffiths Scales are deployed in. It is not possible to design a revised scale that is appropriate for all areas of use, so in this revision process, it was decided to design the scales as culturally fair as possible and support practitioners in other countries to translate and validate the scales for use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The revision of the Griffiths III found test users to be valuable sources of information on the basis of their experiences with the test and professional knowledge. Creating a continuous feedback mechanism within a phased process provided opportunities for the revision team to engage meaningfully with the data being obtained as well as test users to advance the scope and quality of the test. Revision teams are encouraged to consider the process and engagement methods explored in this study during their projects.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cch.12796","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,18]],"date-time":"2020-07-18T06:00:12Z","timestamp":1595052012000},"page":"682-691","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Child development assessment: Practitioner input in the revision for Griffiths III"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"46","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2326-073X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth M.","family":"Green","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Association for Research in Infant and Child Development  Birmingham UK"},{"name":"Department of Psychology Nelson Mandela University  Port Elizabeth South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3627-4121","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Louise","family":"Stroud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Association for Research in Infant and Child Development  Birmingham UK"},{"name":"Department of Psychology Nelson Mandela University  Port Elizabeth South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Candice","family":"Marx","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Nelson Mandela University  Port Elizabeth South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0662-7384","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johan","family":"Cronje","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Nelson Mandela University  Port Elizabeth South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1040-3590.12.3.281"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"A pragmatic view of thematic analysis","volume":"2","author":"Aronson J.","year":"1994","journal-title":"The Qualitative Report"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/DBP.0b013e31819f1c3e"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/archdischild-2012-302724.1736"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","first-page":"205","article-title":"Hemispherotomy in patients with epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike\u2010waves during sleep and prenatal post\u2010haemorrhagic hydrocephalus: A pre\u2010and postsurgical neuro\u2010functional study","volume":"14","author":"Battaglia D.","year":"2012","journal-title":"Epileptic Disorders"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","volume-title":"Bayley scales of toddler and infant development","author":"Bayley N.","year":"2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","volume-title":"Measures of child development: A review","author":"Bedford H.","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-8624.2010.01499.x"},{"issue":"149","key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Best practices for developing and validating scales for health, social and behavioural research: A primer","volume":"6","author":"Boateng G.
