Description
Young children grow and learn when they participate fully in everyday routines and activities. Assess this critical dimension of child development with the MEISR (TM), an easy-to-use tool for creating a snapshot of the functional behaviors of children from birth to 3 years of age.
A rich learning opportunity for both families and professionals-and an ideal starting point for talking to parents about their child's functioning-the MEISR helps build an understanding of a child's engagement, independence, and social relationships within the context of common family routines. Completed by caregivers and easy to use with them during home visits, the MEISR helps paint a picture of the child's functional abilities and highlights future learning opportunities.
With the results of the MEISR, you can
Start important conversations with families about their child's participation in everyday activities
Support child engagement-an important prerequisite to learning
Empower families to enhance natural learning opportunities
Help families choose functional skills to address within the IFSP
Help your team determine Child Outcome Summary (COS) ratings
Develop individualized intervention priorities
