The Battelle Developmental Inventory Cognitive Domain is a specialized assessment tool developed by LINC Associates, Inc. in 1984. Designed to evaluate cognitive development in children from infancy to early childhood, this manual provides structured procedures and scoring for various subdomains including perceptual discrimination, memory, reasoning, academic skills, and conceptual development. It is widely used by educators, therapists, and special education professionals to assess developmental milestones and cognitive abilities.

This spiral-bound manual offers detailed guidelines for administering tests to children aged 0 to 8 years, with clear instructions on materials, behaviors, and scoring criteria. As a valuable resource for developmental screening and intervention planning, it supports professionals working with both typically developing and handicapped children. The book was developed under a contract with Special Education Services, U.S. Department of Education, and distributed by LINC Associates, Inc. Its practical design and comprehensive content make it an essential tool in educational and clinical settings.
