Background: With the increasing use of developmental screening tools, there is a growing need to validate parental screening methods for the early detection of developmental difficulties in children, regarding their psychometric properties.

Results: We analyzed data from 30 children and found significant correlations between S-PMV11 scores and Bayley-III assessments across cognitive, language, and motor skill domains.
