Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2)

 Product Description

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
