Enhanced assessment of motor skills is a hop, skip, and a jump away
Now with updated norms and improved digital utility!
The BOT-3 measures a broad array of fine and gross motor skills. Eight core subtests and one supplementary subtest allow for in-depth assessment of motor abilities and identification of areas of relative strength.
With the BOT-3, you can:
- Assess the motor development and proficiency of individuals from school age to early adulthood, ranging from those who are typically developing to those with mild to moderate motor challenges
- Support diagnosis of motor impairments
- Inform further evaluation, goal-setting, and interventions
- Develop and evaluate motor training programs
Core subtests
- Fine Motor Precision: includes untimed activities that require precise control of finger and hand movement
- Fine Motor Integration: requires the examinee to reproduce drawings of various geometric shapes of increasing complexity
- Manual Dexterity: uses timed, goal-directed activities that involve reaching, grasping, and bimanual coordination with small objects
- Upper Limb Coordination: consists of activities designed to measure visual tracking with coordinated arm and hand movement, such as catching, dribbling, and throwing a ball
- Bilateral Coordination: contains tasks requiring body control, and sequential and simultaneous coordination of the upper and lower limbs
- Balance: evaluates fundamental balance skills that are integral for maintaining posture when standing or walking
- Strength: measures trunk and upper and lower body strength
- Dynamic Movement: assesses running speed and agility
Supplementary subtest
- Extended Balance: involves more advanced balance skills using a balance beam
Features of the BOT-3
Occupational therapists, physical therapists, developmental adaptive physical education teachers, diagnosticians, and special education professionals appreciate the BOT-3 for its:
- Engaging, game-like tasks
- Large, clear pictures in the administration easel and optional demonstration videos that help examinees better understand the activities you need them to perform
- Supplementary Extended Balance subtest to assess higher-performing individuals (requires Balance Beam not included in kit but available separately)
- Separate fine motor and gross motor kits available
- The fine motor kit includes subtests for: Fine Motor Precision, Fine Motor Integration, Manual Dexterity, and Upper-Limb Coordination
- The gross motor kit includes subtests for: Bilateral Coordination, Balance, Extended Balance, Dynamic Movement, and Strength (Balance Beam required for Extended Balance)
