The Standardized Infant NeuroDevelopmental Assessment (SINDA) is a validated screening instrument developed to support the early identification of infants at high risk for neurodevelopmental disorders between 6 weeks and 12 months corrected age. Using a unique 360-degree approach, SINDA provides a comprehensive evaluation of infant development by integrating neurological, developmental, and socio-emotional domains into a single, structured assessment. Its practical design allows clinicians to make timely, informed decisions and facilitates early referral and intervention during this critical period of brain development.
