Forthcoming* Early Motor Control Scales (EMCS™) By Deborah A. Hayden, M.A., CCC-SLP, Amy M. Wetherby, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Julie E. Cleary, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, & Barry M. Prizant, Ph.D., CCC-SLP EMCS is straightforward and easy to use. Professionals conduct a 15- to 20-minute Behavior Sample, a face-to-face evaluation. After a brief warm-up, professionals sample behavior across a variety of contexts using familiar play materials and books. Gathering observation data on a simple form, professionals assess After completing the scoring form, professionals will have a comprehensive picture of speech-related motor control—information they can use as a starting point for further assessment and intervention. EMCS includes a manual with standardization and norming data and clear instructions for administering, scoring, and interpreting the tool; the forms for conducting and scoring the Behavior Sample; two training videos on sampling and scoring; and a toy kit with all of the materials needed for the Behavior Sample.

A norm-referenced communication assessment tool, EMCS focuses specifically on measuring young children's motor control and identifying impairments that may lead to a speech delay or disorder. Developed for use with children between 8 and 24 months of age, this concise assessment can also be used with children up to 72 months of age who exhibit atypical speech, motor, or cognitive development. Speech-language pathologists and early interventionists can use the motor control profile generated by EMCS to guide additional communication assessment, plan intervention goals, and chart changes over time.
