About Brigance Assessments

The Brigance Assessment system is a comprehensive set of developmental screening and diagnostic tools used in early childhood education and special education settings. Created by Albert H. Brigance, these assessments help identify children who may need additional support or intervention.

Accurate age calculation is essential for Brigance assessments because developmental expectations vary significantly even within small age ranges during early childhood.

Brigance Assessment Types

Common Brigance assessments that require chronological age include:

Brigance IED III: Inventory of Early Development for children birth through age 7
Brigance Screens III: Quick developmental screenings for specific age ranges
Brigance CIBS: Comprehensive Inventory of Basic Skills for PreK through grade 9
Brigance Transition Skills: For adolescents and young adults transitioning to adulthood

Frequently Asked Questions

The Brigance Assessment is a comprehensive set of developmental screening and diagnostic tools used in early childhood and special education. It evaluates skills in areas like motor development, language, academics, and daily living skills. Common versions include the Brigance IED III (Inventory of Early Development) and Brigance Screens.

The Brigance assessments cover a wide age range. The Brigance IED III is designed for children from birth to age 7, while the Brigance Comprehensive Inventory of Basic Skills covers students from pre-kindergarten through grade 9. Specific screens are available for different age groups.

For Brigance assessments, calculate the child's age in years and months from their birth date to the assessment date. The age determines which developmental expectations to compare against. Round down partial months—a child who is 3 years, 5 months, and 20 days old is recorded as 3 years, 5 months.

Accurate age is critical because Brigance assessments compare a child's skills to developmental expectations for their specific age. An incorrect age could lead to inappropriate expectations, missed delays, or unnecessary concerns. Early childhood development changes rapidly, making precise age calculation essential.
