By: Susan Zimmerman-Phillips, MS (Advanced Bionics)

The Infant-Toddler Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (IT-MAIS) (Zimmerman-Phillips 2000) is a modification of the Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (MAIS) (Robbins et al, 1991). It is a structured interview schedule designed to assess the child’s spontaneous responses to sound in his/her everyday environment.
The assessment is based on information provided by the child’s parent(s) in response to 10 probes, which assess three main areas: 1) vocalization behavior, 2) alerting to sounds, and 3) deriving meaning from sound. Specific scoring criteria have been developed for each of the 10 probes.
