Mayes Motor-Free Compilation (MMFC) for Assessing Mental Ability in Children with Physical Impairments.

Mayes, Susan Dickerson

International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, v46 n4 p475-85 Dec 1999

The Mayes Motor Free Compilation (MMFC) assesses mental ability in young (under age 2) children with motor disabilities. This study evaluated the concurrent validity of the MMFC by administering it and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development to normal children. Findings suggest that the MMFC provides a valid estimate of mental age, even without items requiring motor skills. (Contains extensive references.) (Author/DB)
