With the guidance of an early intervention professional, parents or caregivers complete the MEISR in just 45 minutes, scoring each item with a 1 (child does not yet do this), a 2 (child does this sometimes), or a 3 (child does this often or has progressed beyond this). Basic scoring can be done by the caregiver or the caregiver and the professional together.
