"It is important to have a context from which to understand the main focus of this volume, which of course, is the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-Fourth Edition (Bayley-4; Bayley & Aylward, 2019a). As such, we begin this volume with a brief history of infant and toddler development by using several sources of information including Black and Matula (2000), Goodman (1990), and Kelley and Surbeck (2007). Additionally, Sattler (2018a) has a very useful summary of the historical milestones onintellectual and developmental assessment. The interested reader is encouraged to review these sources as well as others to gain a thorough understanding of the history of infant and toddler assessment. Next, we highlight the importance of infant and toddler assessment, state the purposes of early childhood assessment, and list the typical developmental domains assessed. Finally, we provide a summary list of nearly 200 infant and toddler assessments as a resource; that summary list is found in the Appendix"--
