Why are Bayley Scales Important in the Context of Neonatal Disorders?
Neonatal disorders can have significant impacts on an infant's development. Conditions such as preterm birth, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), and congenital anomalies can lead to developmental delays. The Bayley Scales provide a comprehensive and reliable method to evaluate the extent of these delays and to guide intervention strategies. Early identification through BSID can lead to timely and targeted therapies, which are crucial for improving long-term outcomes.
