The developmental assessment tool assesses functional motor skills. It helps to link performance of functional activities to neuromotor foundational abilities
Sensory Integration & Praxis Test (SIPT)
The Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) is a battery used to test the sensory integration processes that underlie learning and behaviour. By showing you how children organise and respond to sensory input, SIPT helps pinpoint specific difficulties.
Sensory Processing Measure
Miller Function & Participation Scales (MfunPS)
Test of Visual Perception Skills (TVPS)
The TVPS assesses visual-perceptual strengths and weaknesses.
Child Attachment and Play Assessment (CAPA)
The Child Attachment and Play Assessment (CAPA): Attachment and exploration are closely related behavioural systems. One way of activating both systems in children is the use of narrative story stems-a doll-play procedure in which the adult gives the child the beginning of a story (the stem) and asks them to finish it by “telling and showing me what happens next.” This paper presents the Child Attachment and Play Assessment (CAPA)-a new system for analysing story stems with preschool (age 3-6 years) and school-age children (7-11 years).
Meaning Of The Child (MoTC)
Meaning of the Child: The Meaning of the Child Interview (MotC) is a method of understanding the parent-child relationship though evaluating the way parents think about their child. It makes use of a semi-structured interview in which parents talk about their child, their relationship with their child, and their parenting, which is then carefully analysed using a manualised system. The concept of the Meaning of the Child was developed by applying attachment theory and research on adult discourse (patterns of speaking about relationships) to the insights of Reder and Duncan (see 1995, 1999), whose seminal studies in the 1990’s of fatal child abuse highlighted the importance of attending to the particular psychological meaning that a child has for his or her parent(s).
The Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS)
Sensory Profile
The forms are completed by caregivers and teachers, who have observed the child’s response to sensory interactions that occur throughout the day.
Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration
Movement Assessment Battery for Children (Movement ABC)
The Movement ABC helps to identify delay or impairment in motor development.
The Marschak Interaction Method
- Set limits and provide an appropriately ordered environment (Structure)
- Engage the child in interaction while being attuned to the child’s state (Engagement)
- Meet the child’s needs for attention, soothing and care (Nurture)
- Support and encourage the child’s efforts to achieve at a developmentally appropriate level (Challenge) and the child’s ability to respond to the caregivers’ efforts
The Test of Playfulness (ToP)
The Test of Playfulness (ToP) is an assessment designed for measuring the play of individuals between the ages of 6 months and 18 years (Bundy, 2010). It is composed of 29 items that are scored following an observation of the individual’s free play in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Test of Environmental Supportiveness (ToES)
The TOES was developed to assess the extent to which elements of a particular environment support a player’s motivations for play (Bronson & Bundy, 2001).
