Brief Summary

The Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS) is an instrument that assesses the quality and quantity of motor development opportunities available in the home for infants aged 3 to 18 months. Since its initial publication, the AHEMD-IS has grown in popularity as a clinical tool and research criterion. Furthermore, the AHEMD-IS supports the claim that environmental factors can have a positive impact on future motor skills and later cognitive behaviors of infants. Also it is stated that environmental factors are associated with infant motor development and motor abilities. As of writing, it has been translated into eight languages from the original English version and has been reported as valid and reliable in countries such as China, Spain, Lebanon, and Persia. The aim of this study was to produce the Turkish version of the AHEMD-IS and to reveal the validity and reliability of this version.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development (AHEMD-IS)

  The AHEMD-IS is a questionnaire for assessing the home environment of children aged 3 to 18 months. The AHEMD-IS evaluates physical space (inside and outside), variety of stimulation and play materials (gross motor toys and fine motor toys). The scale consists of 41 items in total. For infants aged 3-12 months, the first 32 items are answered. It is stated that the other items are not suitable for babies under 12 months. All substances are applied to infants aged 12-18 months. Questions answered as yes or no are scored as 0 and 1 (0: no, 1: yes). Other questions are scored as 0, 1, 2, 3. For infants up to 12 months, a total of 66 points is obtained. For infants older than 12 months, a total of 93 points is obtained. A higher score indicates better environmental enrichment
