Assessments for Infants and Toddlers

One aspect of quality care for infants and toddlers is the ongoing assessment of a baby’s development to plan an individualized responsive curriculum and to insure that any necessary interventions are implemented as early as possible.  The EQ Initiative collaborates with Results Matter to support providers in utilizing authentic observational assessment tools within their programs.
