Practitioner and Client Roles
The caregiver and child participate in the observed interaction. The practitioner records observations, identifies strengths and needs, and interprets the profile.

Is MIM a self-report questionnaire in this product?
No. MIM is represented as an observed dyadic assessment, not a self-report questionnaire.
Do caregivers or children log in to complete it?
No. They participate in observed interaction; the practitioner records and synthesizes assessment information.
Does the tool score or classify the dyad automatically?
No. The tool organizes practitioner-entered observations and interpretations without automated scoring or classification.
