The DASH-2 is a comprehensive measure of handwriting speed for students ages 8 to 25 years. Authors Dr. Sheila Henderson and Dr. Anna Barnett will provide an overview of the test, then join Dr. Virginia Berninger for a discussion about the use of the DASH-2 with handwriting difficulties.

Many individuals diagnosed with ADHD display motor challenges that may not receive proper assessment and intervention as more emphasis is placed on the cognitive and behavioral issues associated with this diagnosis. This webinar will discuss the prevalence and nature of motor challenges, and explore the potential for the co-occurrence of Developmental Coordination Disorder, in this population. Dr Tamplain will explain how assessment tools such as the Movement ABC-3 and BOT-3 can be useful in detecting motor concerns when working with individuals with ADHD.

This webinar will discuss age-related changes in motor performance in autistic and non-autistic children, examining diagnostic group differences and subgroup differences.

Join this author-led webinar to hear about the new Movement ABC-3 Test and Checklist and learn how the two can be used together or independently to assess motor competence in children and young adults.

Autism and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) share many similar behavioral-level motor features, however the underlying neuromotor mechanisms of these two conditions may differ. Join this webinar to explore the relationship between motor features of autism and DCD, learn how these features manifest across the lifespan, and discuss implications for clinical practice.

Join this one-hour webinar for a description and demonstration of the new BOT-3 features and additional items. Increase your understanding of what to expect and how the BOT-3 updates can enhance your practice. 

The BOT-3 and Movement ABC-3 are both newly revised tools for assessing gross and fine motor coordination in children and young adults. Join this webinar to find out what's new with the revised versions, discover the unique characteristics of each test, and learn about the applications of both tools in clinical practice.

An interactive panel discussion featuring three expert occupational therapists who will discuss their recent research in the field of autism, moderated by Pearson OT Research Director, Elizabeth Munsell, PhD, OTR/L  

Many individuals with autism experience differences in the way they process sensory information relative to their neurotypical peers. This webinar provides an overview of Dunn's sensory processing framework, reviews recent related research, explores two standardized sensory questionnaires, and explains how assessment results can be used to guide intervention planning and strategy formation.

Understanding the sensory and motor development of young children is vital to support their participation and success. Challenges in these areas may exacerbate many social, behavioral, and learning difficulties during early childhood and into school years.
