TEMECULA, CA — Melospeech, Inc., a leading EdTech company, is proud to introduce The Communication Milestone Screening Protocol: Birth to Five (CMSP:B-5)—a cutting-edge tool that automates developmental screenings and report writing for children, with a particular focus on addressing the needs of 4-5 year olds in the K-12 system.
With national backlogs and limited resources straining education systems, The CMSP:B-5 provides a much-needed solution. Early identification of developmental and communication delays—especially in children preparing to enter kindergarten—is important to ensuring timely interventions that promote success in school and beyond.
Focusing on 4-5 Year Olds in K-12 Settings
Approximately 1 in 4 preschool-age children are at risk for developmental, behavioral, or social delays, while 1 in 6 school-age children have a parent-reported diagnosis of a developmental delay or disability (National Survey of Children’s Health, 2011–2012; CDC, 2011). Without proper screening, these children often enter K-12 systems unprepared, which can lead to struggles with academic and social development.
The CMSP:B-5 is uniquely positioned to support preschool educators, school districts, and specialists working with 4-5 year olds by:
- Streamlining Screening Processes: Automating data collection and analysis for faster results.
- Improving Accuracy: Providing consistent, criterion-referenced developmental milestones for children at critical ages.
- Reducing Administrative Burden: Automating report writing and recommendations to allow educators and specialists to focus on direct child support.
How CMSP:B-5 Works:
- Check Observations: Select milestones based on the child’s age and behaviors.
- Add Additional Findings: Include comments from educators, parents, or past assessments.
- Submit for Analysis: The tool completes an analysis in under two minutes.
- Review and Edit Reports: Generate a professional, editable report with actionable recommendations for educators, parents, and the treatment team.
CMSP:B-5 and the MTSS Framework
The CMSP:B-5 integrates seamlessly into the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), a framework used in K-12 systems to provide tiered levels of support based on student needs. By offering universal screenings, targeted recommendations, and data for individualized interventions, The CMSP:B-5 enhances every tier of the MTSS framework to ensure no child falls through the cracks but is particularly useful for timely universal screenings without burdening professionals with lengthy screening processes and documentation.
Meeting the Needs of K-12 Systems
“The transition to kindergarten is one of the most critical periods in a child’s life,” said Dr. Givona Sandiford, CEO of Melospeech, Inc. “The CMSP:B-5 empowers schools and specialists to identify and address developmental delays early, ensuring children have the skills they need to succeed in a K-12 environment.”
