months. The tasks cover the following 3 domains:

Aiming & Catching (ball skills)
Balance & Locomotion
Task, domain and Total Motor scores are provided. A profile of a child’s performance over the different sections of the test can be examined and a ‘traffic light’ system helps map areas of strength and concern.
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.
