Early developmental assessment with a short screening test, the STEP, predicts one-year outcomes.OBJECTIVE
 We prospectively studied 23 preterm infants' performance on the STEP and the Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP) at term and 3 months, and on the Bayley-III at 12 months.  We investigated the psychometric qualities of the STEP and determined STEP cutoff scores for low and high-performing infants.


 The STEP showed excellent reliability and required 6-10 min to administer.
