| 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. |
