A culture-appropriate and simple test battery consisting of 67 test items was developed and field tested in Haryana, India, in 1987-89. Trained field workers administered the tests to 3731 preschool children in 47 randomly selected villages of a district, irrespective of their physical/mental status. Centile age values were constructed for various developmental milestones included in the cultural-appropriate test battery. The locally relevant, simple, and low cost developmental tests and reference values will be used for early detection of developmental disabilities at primary care level.
