Riassunto

Young children grow and learn when they participate fully in everyday routines and activities. Assess this critical dimension of child development with the MEISR™, an easy‐to‐use tool for creating a snapshot of the functional behaviors of children from birth to three 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

Assess a child's functioning within 14 routines:

• Waking up
• Toileting/Diapering
• Meal Times
• Dressing Time
• Hangout – TV – Books
• Play With Others
• Nap Time
• Outside Time
• Play by Him‐ or Herself
• Bath Time
• Bedtime
• Going Out
• Groccery Shopping
• Transition Time

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.
