Normal development: WISC-IV score >70, Bayley-III or Movement ABC-2 >15 percentile, or DP-3 score >70. Neurodevelopmental impairment: WISC-IV score <50, Bayley-III or movement ABC-2 <5 percentile, Developmental Profile 3 score <50, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, visual impairment, or too retarded to complete testing.
