BDI-3 Assessment

TEIS will be transitioning to using the Battelle Developmental Inventory - Third Edition (BDI-3) for assessments. This assessment tool measures all developmental areas for children birth through 7 years and 11 months. It will be used for eligibility, idea planning and intervention, progress monitoring, and program evaluation.
