Through structured items, interviews, and observation, the BDI-3® offers the most robust data collection method for valid results and more accurate conclusions to support early childhood identification.

The BDI-3 measures mastery of developmental milestones in the following global domains:

• Communication
• Social-emotional
• Adaptive
• Motor
• Cognitive

There are three kits to The Battelle® Developmental Inventory, Third Edition™ (BDI-3™)

• The BDI-3 Developmental Complete Kit;
• The BDI-3 Developmental Screening Test Kit and
• The BDI-3 Battelle Early Academic Survey (BEAS) Kit.

These are each sold separately and not in combination as before. The kits come with all the materials needed to administer the assessments as well as 25 paper forms and 25 electronic forms (please read below for an explanation).

As well as the kit/-s, all customers MUST purchase an annual subscription for an access key to RiversideScore, the online scoring platform. This will give them access to:

1. The electronic record forms (the examiner fills these out on a devise as the student completes the test and then tallies scores etc. and a report is generated. No paper)
2. A template for entering scores from a paper form, with a report generated from these scores
3. Norms tables (look up) for those wanting to do everything by hand (and not having any student data stored in RiversideScore). The paper norms book is no longer available.

The one access key gives customers these options for all BDI-3 tests, so if they purchase more than one of the three BDI-3 test kits, they only need a single access key.
