A SEED Fejlődési Skála mint a 0–4 éves korú gyermekek egyik vizsgáló eljárása az eltérő fejlődésmenet diagnosztikájában

Abstract

The SEED Developmental Scale (Sewall Early Education Development Scale) measures the adaptation and psychomotor skills of infants and toddlers in the age of 0 – 4 years. The creators of the Scale combine the tasks and subtests of several intelligence scales in order to receive a detailed picture of the children’s skills appropriate to their age group and explore their strengths and weaknesses thus determining the level of the development and the structure of their abilities. The main aim of the Scale’s creator by receiving comprehensive information about the differences in the performance and development of children is laying out the most adequate developmental plan for them by emphasizing the tones and ways of developing and being able to follow the progress of the children with this testing method. The set of the tools and the system of the tasks provide the examiner with the opportunity of observing the child’s spontaneous activities so we can even study the development of children with difficulties in interoperability (due to suffering from attention deficit disorder, behavior problems or difficulties with continuous tasks performance because of lower intellectual abilities).

The SEED Scale specifies the level of development and helps drawing up the directions and opportunities of development at the same time so professional intervention can begin in time, and independently from the cooperative skills of the child.
