The Battelle Developmental Inventory Screening Test (BDIST), for children 6 months to 8 years old, has a number of desirable features, including subtests for fine and gross motor, adaptive, personal-social, receptive and expressive language, and cognitive skills; a range cutoff and age-equivalent scores; and national standardization. To assess its accuracy, the BDIST was administered to 104 children 7 to 83 months old, along with several other screening tests and a battery of criterion measures. Tied to 1.5 standard deviations below the mean, BDIST failing scores were moderately sensitive, detecting 75% of the children with developmental problems, such as mental retardation, borderline intelligence, language delays, and learning disabilities. Since 73% of the nonhandicapped children passed the BDIST, the test showed moderate specificity. Children within one month of their birthdays were likely to be over- or underreferred. Although the BDIST needs further research, it is a promising developmental screening instrument. The Receptive Language (RL) subtest, slightly more sensitive than the total BDIST but less specific, takes only a few minutes and thus is useful for prescreening in time-limited settings, such as pediatric practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000992289303200504","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,26]],"date-time":"2007-11-26T17:50:16Z","timestamp":1196099416000},"page":"273-280","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["The Usefulness of the Battelle Developmental Inventory Screening Test"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Frances Page","family":"Glascoe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Child Development Center, Vanderbilt University, 2100 Pierce Avenue, Nashville, TN 37232"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen E.","family":"Byrne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child Development Center, Department of Pediatrics, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1993,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1990.03440220059030"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(88)80565-1"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"526","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.78.3.526","volume":"78","year":"1986","journal-title":"Pediatrics."},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"343","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.79.3.343","volume":"79","author":"Sameroff AJ","year":"1987","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0031-3955(16)36580-4"},{"key":"atypb6","unstructured":"Meisels SJ, Wasik BA Who should be served?
