Who typically administers the MoCA Early Childhood?

The MoCA Early Childhood is designed to be administered by trained professionals, such as psychologists or educators, who have the expertise necessary to interpret the results accurately and understand the developmental context of the children being assessed. These professionals are trained in early childhood development and have the skills to create a supportive environment for assessment, ensuring that the process is developmentally appropriate and effective.

Trained professionals can also provide insights into the factors affecting a child’s performance, analyze the results comprehensively, and recommend interventions or strategies tailored to the child's needs. Their background enables them to distinguish between various developmental issues and to communicate effectively with parents or guardians about the outcomes and implications of the assessment.

Other options, including parents or guardians, community members, or peers, lack the specialized knowledge and skill set required to administer and interpret such assessments, which could lead to misunderstandings of the child's abilities and needs.
