These five brief scales give you a good picture of early cognitive and motor development. Appropriate for children from birth to 5 years and 8 months, the Mullen Scales measure the following:

   Gross Motor Expressive Language

   Visual Reception Receptive Language

   Fine Motor

Colorful manipulatives and updated artwork make the scales attractive to children. A 1-year-old can be assessed in just 15 minutes, a 3-year-old in about 30 minutes, and a 5-year-old in 40 to 60 minutes. For each scale, you get a T-score, percentile, and age equivalent score. An Early Learning Composite score is also generated. The child’s strengths and weaknesses are clearly shown on the Mullen Profile Form.

Or you can choose computer scoring, which not only converts raw scores, but also provides an optional intervention report. This report lists developmentally appropriate tasks that parents can help their children learn at home.

The Mullen Scales give you a foundation for effective intervention and a baseline from which to determine appropriate teaching strategies.
