The Measure of Engagement, Independence, and Social Relationships (MEISR™) measures the extent to which young children age 0 to 3 participate in their everyday routines, which is an assessment of functioning. The MEISR tool is a  24-page consumable form sold in packs of 5.

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 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.
