===How Are We Doing?=== Remember, how you measure your child’s progress is important because it influences therapy. Most widely-used tests skew the results to favor vocabulary learning. They also hide your child’s true progress toward combinatorial language. MITA uses a tool called [http://imagiration.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/MSEC_test_form_EN_formatted.pdf Mental Synthesis Evaluation Checklist] (MSEC) for this purpose, and you can too—by answering these questions every three months and scoring your responses. To complete the questionnaire, choose one of three answers to each question: “not true,” “somewhat true,” or “very true.” To score your responses, add one point for every “somewhat true,” and two points for every “not true” response. MSEC assigns higher scores to more severe symptoms. As your child improves, his score will go down. Each group of questions tracks a specific mental activity your child must exercise to master combinatorial language. Questions 1 through 7 test for elements of combinatorial language. Questions 8 through 10 test your child’s ability to follow a story. Questions 11 through 13 offer a glimpse into crucial nonverbal activity that serves as a precursor to combinatorial language. Questions 14 through 20 test for math skills, a fantastic exercise to strengthen every part of the brain involved in voluntary imagination. Keep a record of individual questions, as well as the total MSEC score. Over time, it will give you precious insights into your child’s inner growth towards combinatorial language.
