Inadequate
1. Most classroom areas are not accessible (e.g., stairs, various ground levels, toys covering large floor space preclude access), and children are not helped to gain access to classroom areas.
2. Materials and equipment are not accessible by children (e.g., most materials placed in areas that children cannot reach, equipment/materials not adapted to enable access), and children are not helped to gain access to them.
Minimal
1. Some classroom areas are accessible by children, and adults usually help children gain access to the classroom space.
2. Some materials and equipment are accessible by children, and adults usually help children gain access to materials/equipment they need to use.
Excellent
1. Most classroom areas can be independently accessed by children.
2. Adults monitor how children use materials/equipment and help children use materials when they have difficulty.
3. There are many materials and equipment that children use independently.
4. Many classroom areas and equipment are labeled with picture symbols, visual instructions, and signs based on children’s needs to encourage independent access and use.

Item 1 assesses the quality of environmental adaptations and adult strategies for supporting children’s access to and use of the classroom’s physical space, materials, and equipment.

Circle the appropriate response (YES/NO/NA) for each indicator.
Apply the scoring guidance for each item to assign an individual item rating from 1 to 7 in the Individual Item Ratings Column.
Add all individual item ratings and divide this number by the number of total items rated to calculate a total score.
