Key complementary features of Movement ABC-2 and BOT-2 >|
BOT-2 assesses the motor proficiency of all students, ranging from those who are normally developing to those with moderate motor-skill deficits. It can also be used for developing and evaluating motor training programmes.
Challenging, game-like tasks
Children enjoy the variety and appeal of the test items. BOT-2 items provide a full range of interesting tasks that measure gross and fine motor skills—maintaining balance while standing on one leg, bouncing a ball, and cutting out a circle are just a few examples.
New administration manual makes testing more efficient
BOT-2 features a completely new administration manual with an easy-to-use layout that gives examiners access to all the information they need on a single page.
The manual also provides suggestions to guide examiners in explaining the tasks. For the examinee, large, clear pictures of the tasks being completed help provide a better understanding of the test items, especially for children who have language, cognition or attention problems.
Eight subtests assess:
-
Fine Motor Precision—7 items (e.g., cutting out a circle, connecting dots)
-
Fine Motor Integration—8 items (e.g., copying a star, copying a square)
-
Manual Dexterity—5 items (e.g., transferring pennies, sorting cards, stringing blocks)
-
Bilateral Coordination—7 items (e.g., tapping foot and finger, jumping jacks)
-
Balance—9 items (e.g., walking forward on a line, standing on one leg on a balance beam)
-
Running Speed and Agility—5 items (e.g., shuttle run, one-legged side hop)
-
Upper-Limb Coordination—7 items (e.g., throwing a ball at a target, catching a tossed ball)
-
Strength—5 items (e.g., standing long jump, sit-ups)
Composite Scores
BOT–2 covers a broad array of fine and gross motor skills, providing composite scores in four motor areas and one comprehensive measure of overall motor proficiency. These composites are:
-
Fine Manual Control
-
Manual Coordination
-
Body Coordination
-
Strength and Agility
-
Total Motor Composite
-
Interpretation
BOT-2 ASSIST includes these features:
-
Unlimited scoring
-
Entry of either the Item Raw Scores (IRS) or subtests Total Point Scores (TPS)
-
Generation of derived scores and score profiles
-
Identification of examinees' motor skill strengths and weaknesses
Comprehensive Training DVD
This DVD provides an in-depth look at all aspects of the BOT-2. The video includes an introduction by the authors, a detailed look at test administration, scoring and reporting information and an overview of the BOT-2 ASSIST scoring and reporting software program.
