Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS)

The Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) is a tool used by healthcare professionals to assess the motor development of infants from birth to around 18 months. It observes how babies move and hold their bodies during play, looking at their posture, balance, and coordination. The assessment helps identify if an infant is developing typical movement patterns or if there may be delays. By providing a standardized way to track progress, AIMS helps guide early interventions to support positive motor development and ensure infants reach their full physical potential.
