When It Is Used
Use it when interpreting observed interaction specifically for structure-related strengths and needs.
MIM Structure Analysis
MIM Structure Analysis is a practitioner-only focused dyadic interaction analysis for practitioners interpreting observed caregiver-child interaction. It helps the practitioner organize evidence about caregiver guidance, direction, limits, organization, and child response to structure into a focused strengths-and-needs profile.

What It Captures
The analysis captures practitioner-entered observation evidence, caregiver direction or organization, child response to structure, strengths, gaps, and planning implications.
Important Limitations
The tool does not create a full MIM profile, generate scores, diagnose the dyad, or prescribe interventions.
Is Structure Analysis the full MIM assessment?
No. It is a focused analysis of the Structure dimension and does not include the full MIM profile unless other analyses are completed separately.
Does the tool rate parenting automatically?
No. It organizes practitioner-entered evidence and interpretation without automated ratings or global parenting judgments.
Why separate caregiver behavior and child response?
The Structure profile needs both caregiver direction, limits, or organization and the child's response to structure represented distinctly.
