			<p>The Movement Assessment Battery for Children, Third Edition (Movement ABC-3) provides an objective measurement of gross and fine motor coordination difficulties in children and young adults aged 3 &ndash; 25 years and 11 months.&nbsp;</p>

			<h3>Movement ABC-3 Benefits:&nbsp;</h3>

			<ul>
				<li>Identify&nbsp;delay or impairment in motor development</li>
				<li>Plan intervention</li>
				<li>Measure&nbsp;change and monitor progress over time</li>
				<li>Widely known and respected for use in research related to motor development</li>
				<li>Gain a holistic picture of motor performance using the Checklists to complement observational assessment</li>
			</ul>

			<p><strong>The Movement ABC-3 updates include:</strong></p>

			<ul>
				<li>Revised and updated test content and items</li>
				<li>New manipulatives</li>
				<li>Extended age range down to 3 and up to 25 years and 11 months</li>
				<li>Co-collected sample between the UK and ANZ</li>
				<li>Unified constructs across ages</li>
			</ul>

			<p><strong>Three Movement ABC-3 subtests:</strong></p>

			<ul>
				<li>Manual Dexterity</li>
				<li>Aiming &amp; Catching</li>
				<li>Balance &amp; Locomotion</li>
			</ul>

			<p><strong>Separate Checklists for each age band:</strong></p>

			<ul>
				<li>Parent/Teacher/Other</li>
				<li>Self (age band 3 only)</li>
			</ul>
			&nbsp;

			<h3>Test content and structure</h3>

			<p>The test contains 10 tasks for each of 3 age ranges: 3 &ndash; 6 years (3-year-olds complete 7 tasks); 7 &ndash; 11 years and 12 &ndash; 25 years and 11 months. The tasks cover the following 3 domains:</p>

			<ul>
				<li>Manual Dexterity</li>
				<li>Aiming &amp; Catching (ball skills)</li>
				<li>Balance &amp; Locomotion</li>
			</ul>

			<p>Task, domain and Total Motor scores are provided. A profile of a child&rsquo;s performance over the different sections of the test can be examined and a &lsquo;traffic light&rsquo; system helps map areas of strength and concern.<br />
			<br />
			The assessment is paralleled by an observational approach to perceptual-motor aspects and emotional and motivational difficulties the individual may have in relation to motor tasks.<br />
			&nbsp;</p>

			<h3>Features</h3>

			<ul>
				<li>Norms based on a sample of 1279&nbsp;collected jointly in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand</li>
				<li>Extensive international research built over the previous version of the assessment and this version - featuring in over 500 studies</li>
				<li>Numerous translations worldwide</li>
			</ul>
			&nbsp;

			<h3>The Movement ABC-3 Checklists</h3>

			<p>The Movement ABC-3 Checklists provide a means for assessing movement in everyday situations in which the child or young adult participates.</p>

			<p><strong>Use the checklist to</strong>:</p>

			<ul>
				<li>Assess groups of students in classroom situations</li>
				<li>Obtain parents&rsquo; or teachers&rsquo; views on an individual&rsquo;s movement in everyday settings</li>
				<li>Measure the extent to which a young person&rsquo;s attitudes and feelings about motor tasks are situation specific or more generalised</li>
				<li>Ascertain the impact of motor difficulties on an individual&rsquo;s participation in everyday activities</li>
			</ul>
			&nbsp;

			<h3>Digital administration and scoring options</h3>

			<p>The Movement ABC-3 can be administered using either paper or digital record forms. Online scoring is available via Pearson&#39;s <a href="https://www.pearsonclinical.co.uk/digital-solutions/q-global/about.html">Q-global&reg; online assessment platform</a>.</p>
