Welcome
The Association for Research in Infant and Child Development is a registered charity, founded by a group of paediatricians and child psychologists interested in increasing understanding of early child development and thereby improving the welfare of children with disabilities.
The principal founder in 1957 was an eminent psychologist, Dr Ruth Griffiths. The Griffiths Mental Development Scales are promoted by the association in its task of maintaining and furthering the work of diagnostic assessment in babies and young children.
