Mullen Scales of Early Learning

by Eileen Mullen

Provides a good picture of early cognitive and motor development with five brief scales:

• Gross Motor

• Visual Reception

• Fine Motor

• Expressive Language

• Receptive Language

The Mullen Profile Form clearly shows the child’s strengths and weaknesses, and an intervention report (offered on the computer scoring CD) lists developmentally appropriate tasks that parents can help their children master at home.  

Attractive to children and useful to educators, the Mullen Scales provide a foundation for effective intervention and a baseline from which to determine appropriate teaching strategies.
