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 profile 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 14 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.
In this comprehensive MEISR manual, you'll discover how to:
* introduce the MEISR to families
* implement and score the MEISR
* interpret results accurately
* review the MEISR with families and develop individualized intervention priorities
* integrate the Routines-Based Interview (RBI) with the MEISR
* use results of the MEISR to inform federal child outcome reporting
* monitor your program's effectiveness with the help of data from the MEISR
Make the MEISR a part of your early intervention program, and you'll have a powerful tool that helps families enhance natural learning opportunities and support their child's engagement.
