Motor development tests evaluate the progression of typical motor functioning on a continuum.
Background:
Assessment and evaluation in motor behavior are key components or systematic processes of gathering and interpreting information about a student. Motor development tests evaluate the progression of typical motor functioning on a continuum.
The use of developmental norms assumes that comparing the performance of a student with disabilities against norms for typical development is appropriate, and deviations from the norm are indicative of a delay or problem in development or are associated with a physical or cognitive disability.
It is important that teachers, health professionals, and physical therapists quickly determine which students qualify for special service/treatment, and what is the development stages, or risks of developmental delays by using variousassessment and evaluation procedures.
You can use The Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale, ASQ-3, TGMD-3, Bruininks- Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Assessment 2, The Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC) for this case study.
Instruction: You may know some families/parents with children with/wo disabilities who are seeking an informal assessment towards various assessments the daily motor functioning/development stage and looking for potential recommendations andsuggand suggestions for the treatment/intervention. In this assignment, you will think about a sample case (individual child aged between 3–16-year-old) and conduct an informal assessment using one age-appropriate instrument/scale regarding the development stage/problems/delays in the area of obesity, physical activity, motor skill, and/or social-emotional skill (1-2 areas can be covered); and write a summary report with potential recommendations and suggestions to the family/parents.Case Study Assessment Report Includes:
? Introduction (1-2 pages):
1) You will define the problems/diseases that are apparent in your child of choice in detail.
2) You will build the rationale for why an assessment needs to be conducted for this child.
3) Describe the characteristics (demographic, behavioral, problems, medical history) of this child or any previous diagnoses. It is suggested to have some physical measures such as height/weight, BMI as the fundamental patient information to be included in the report. You may take pictures in the process of your assessment which may be used in the final poster presentation. You also can include the picture in the case study assessment report if needed.
? Description of the Scale you choose to use for assessment (2-3 pages):
1) Introduce the scale/instrument you choose for this child’s assessment.
2) Describe the assessment protocols (procedures, equipment, instructions, scaling, scoring, otherrelevant information).
3) Report the results of your child through a screen shot of the scoring sheet or in a graph/table.
? Summary and Discussion (2-3 pages):
1) Summarize the overall results or problems that have been identified based on your assessment a. Go into discussion here talking about the implications of each finding in the subset of your assessments (depending on which one you chose).
2) Identify the solution or recommendations for improvement or potential intervention to make improvements (if any) for your case. Please provide the references/citation if your recommendation/suggestion are based on reliable outside resources.
