Are you planning to implement the INTER-NDA in your hospital, healthcare programme or research project?
Use our INTER-NDA resource checklist to help you map this process out. This is a generic checklist; you will need to tailor this, based on your available resources, to the specific needs of your programme and target population.

The INTERGROWTH-21st Neurodevelopment Package (c) University of Oxford is a multi-dimensional assessment of early child development designed for use across international populations. The Package can be administered in 35 - 45 minutes to a high degree of reliability by non-specialists in population-based settings. It was developed for use in the 22-26 month age group, but incorporates items from 18 to 36 months. It has been validated against the Bayley Scales of Infant Development III edition.
The INTERGROWTH-21st Neurodevelopment Package measures:
(1) Visual acuity and contrast sensitivity
(2) Cortical auditory processing
(3) Cognition, language, motor skills, behaviour, attention and social-emotional reactivity (INTER-NDA)
(4) Sleep, circadian rhythm and daytime physical activity
The INTER-NDA can be administered & scored in under 15 minutes, by non-specialist assessors, to 2 year old children.
Its norms for 2 year old children are international standards of early child development and were constructed according to the prescriptive WHO approach. Download the INTER-NDA's standards here.
