Abstract:
The Griffiths Mental Development Scales -Extended Revised is a comprehensive Developmental Assessment tool used primarily by developmental pediatrics to provide a profile of the child’s
strengths and weaknesses in all the developmental streams. It is used to determine if the child is in need
of an early intervention or a treatment program by indicating the child's mental age range for that
particular area. However, the calculation and analysis of scores to determine the child's age range are
very tedious, as it involves many normative tables and repetitive formulas. The Online Griffiths Mental
Development Scales-Extended Revised (OGMDS-ER) minimizes this complexity by automating the
evaluation of scores and normative value comparisons. It has three users: Examiner, System
Administrator and anonymous user. The charts make it easier to determine the percentile where the
child belongs. It also gives the examiner the information of the child's status based on the scores. The
system does not interpret the scores automatically. It is for the doctors or examiners to decide. The
Online Griffiths Mental Development Scales - Extended Revised is a useful online too! for the
computation and analysis of scores of the Griffiths Mental Development Scales 一 Extended Revised as
well as the storage of the GMDSER profiles.
