This short but comprehensive preschool assessment instrument helps you evaluate young children for mild to moderate developmental delays. Items are objective and easy to administer, and they give you a broad overview of a child’s developmental status relative to other children the same age. A color-coded Record Form clearly shows age-appropriate performance for each item.
Designed for children from 2.9 through 5.8 years of age, MAP provides a separate form for each of six age levels. All forms evaluate five areas of performance, yielding the following Index Scores:
Foundations Index
Assesses abilities involving basic motor tasks and the awareness of sensations.
Coordination Index
Assesses complex gross, fine, and oral motor abilities.
Verbal Index
Focuses on memory, sequencing, comprehension, association, and expression in a verbal context.
Nonverbal Index
Examines memory, sequencing, visualization, and the performance of mental manipulations not requiring spoken language.
Complex Tasks Index
Measures sensorimotor abilities in conjunction with cognitive abilities that require interpretation of visuospatial information.
Administered in 30 to 40 minutes, the test presents scores as percentile ranks. Test development was based on research involving more than 4,000 children and 800 items to insure a comprehensive determination of developmental status.
