Just for grandparents/record-keeping...

I will likely eventually misplace the letter with the following information, so am just posting it here for grandparents to see and for future reference.

As I've probably mentioned in the past, Anya is taking part in the Children's Hospital Plagiocephaly Outcomes Project (in the control/"normal" group). At 6 months, 18 months, and 36 months, they do a 3-hour-long developmental assessment. She recently had her 18 month assessment and we received the results today.

Summary: Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development - 3rd Edition

Cognitive: 115 / 84th percentile

Language: 141 / 99th percentile

Motor: 100 / 50th percentile

My comments: it's funny how much results can be skewed from sitting to sitting. She took part in a cognitive skills study at the UW that covered many of the same areas as the cognitive section of this one did. She scored much higher on the UW test. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that Anya stopped cooperating with the tester for about 15 minutes (during puzzle time and some other test), I think out of overstimulation. Hehe, plus there was a test with Cheerios and Anya kept eating them instead of doing what she was supposed to be doing. Reality is probably somewhere between those two scores.
