 FREE  Using the PARCA-R to assess children’s cognitive and language development at two years of age
Samantha Johnson, Vasiliki Bountziouka

Developmental assessment at two years of age is important for both clinical and research purposes, for which standardised measures are needed. Developmental tests frequently require significant time and resources to administer, making them challenging to implement on a large scale. In contrast, the PARCA-R (Parent Report of Children’s Abilities – Revised) is a standardised parent questionnaire that can be used to assess children’s cognitive and language development at 24 months of age. Here we describe the development of the PARCA-R and key information needed to use the questionnaire in clinical practice
