Imitation. Level 1

The assessment kit for cognitive development “Imitation. Level 1” is designed for children who are developing foundational imitation skills. Play-based assessment using familiar objects and simple tasks helps determine whether a child imitates adult actions with objects, copies movements in front of a mirror, and is able to reproduce basic graphic elements based on a model, as well as whether the child recognises the adult as a reference for action. Based on the results, a specialist can identify the child’s strengths, determine areas requiring support, and provide clear recommendations for parents and educators on developing imitation skills as a key mechanism for further learning.

The kit is suitable for early childhood settings, toddler and preschool groups, inclusive and special education classrooms, and psychological and educational support centres. It helps establish a unified and consistent approach to assessing imitation skills, saves specialist time with ready-to-use materials and checklists, presents assessment results clearly for parents, and reinforces a professional, systematic approach to evaluating and supporting a child’s cognitive development.
