The BRIGANCE Early Childhood suite consists of user-friendly early childhood screening and assessment tools based on the most current research.

Big Insights for Little Learners

Building a bright future starts with a strong foundation, and BRIGANCE Early Childhood is here to help. Through observation, interviews, and child performance, our screening and assessment inventories give educators a clear picture of each child's strengths and areas for growth across key developmental domains. Aligned with state and Common Core standards, BRIGANCE helps identify potential delays and giftedness early on, ensuring timely interventions with reliable, data-driven insights.

By connecting key insights, personalized instruction, and ongoing support, educators can confidently address each child’s unique needs, paving the way for school readiness and long-term success. 

Program Features

Developmental Screening for Early Learners
The Early Childhood Screens III assess key developmental areas including physical, language, academic/cognitive, self-help, and social-emotional skills. Identify strengths and needs for young learners on their journey toward kindergarten or preschool readiness.
Ongoing Assessment
Ensure ongoing growth by monitoring progress across all early developmental domains with the Criterion-Referenced Inventory of Early Development 4. Assessments in the IED 4 are commonly used following screening to get a more in-depth understanding of a child’s skill mastery.
Normative Assessment
Track development with normed scores spanning from birth to age 7 with the Inventory of Early Development III Standardized. Results from this normative testing are often used for reporting and/or determining eligibility for services.
