1. By Area

Instruments can be classified according to the domain of development or ability they evaluate:

Cognitive: Assess intellectual processes such as memory, attention, problem-solving, reasoning, and academic skills.
Example: Raven’s Progressive Matrices.

Motor: Evaluate gross and fine motor skills, coordination, balance, and physical development.
Example: Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2).

Language: Measure receptive and expressive communication, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and articulation.
Example: Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT).

Socio-emotional: Identify emotional regulation, social interaction, self-concept, empathy, and behavior patterns.
Example: Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ).

2. By Type

Instruments can also be classified based on their methodology or structure:

Standardized Tests: Tools that follow strict protocols, validated with large populations, and provide reliable and comparable data.
Example: Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC).

Checklists: Simple tools where behaviors, skills, or indicators are marked as present/absent, achieved/not achieved.
Example: Developmental Milestones Checklist.

Observational Tools: Instruments where the evaluator records behaviors or actions directly observed in natural or structured contexts.
Example: Classroom observation rubrics.

Developmental Scales: Assess growth and development across multiple areas, usually based on age expectations.
Example: Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development.

Interviews: Structured, semi-structured, or open-ended conversations that gather qualitative and quantitative information from students, parents, or teachers.
Example: Parent-Teacher Interviews for Child Development.
