MABC-3 Checklist AB2 Ages 7:0-11:11 (pkg/25)

The Movement Assessment Battery for Children, Third Edition (Movement ABC-3) is an instrument designed for the assessment of gross and fine motor coordination difficulties in children and young adults aged 3 to 25 years and 11 months. It helps professionals identify motor development delays or impairments, plan interventions, and monitor progress over time, offering valuable insights into the impact of motor difficulties on everyday activities and participation.

This tool provides professional teams with a framework that facilitates comprehensive evaluation of motor skills and allows them to gain a holistic understanding of motor performance, including emotional and motivational factors.

Benefits:

• Early identification: Detects motor development delays or impairments to initiate timely interventions.
• Intervention planning: Supports professionals in tailoring intervention strategies to address individual needs.
• Progress monitoring: Tracks improvements over time, helping to measure the effectiveness of interventions.
• Research-supported: Widely recognized in motor development research, cited in over 500 studies.
• Structured scoring: Provides task-specific, domain-specific, and Total Motor scores to deliver detailed insights into motor performance.
• Traffic light system: Highlights areas of strength and concern to guide focused interventions.
• Checklist tools: Offers perspectives from parents, teachers, and self-reports to assess motor skills in everyday settings.

Key Features:

• Updated test content: Includes revised tasks and new manipulatives to enhance the assessment process.
• Extended age range: Covers individuals from 3 years to 25 years and 11 months.
• Unified constructs: Ensures consistency in assessing motor skills across all age bands.

• Three core domains:
  • Manual Dexterity: Assesses fine motor skills such as hand coordination.
  • Aiming & Catching: Evaluates hand-eye coordination and ball skills.
  • Balance & Locomotion: Examines stability and mobility tasks.
• Structure and scoring:
  • Tasks are divided into three age bands: 3–6 years (3-year-olds complete 7 tasks), 7–11 years, and 12–25 years and 11 months.
  • Utilizes task-specific, domain-specific, and Total Motor scores for a comprehensive evaluation.
