Motor Testing/Pediatric Assessment Lecture Flashcards
1
Q
Purpose of Developmental Testing
A
- early identification of delays
- help determine diagnosis
- facilitate treatment planning (where to begin)
- re-testing provides concrete data about progress
2
Q
Basic Methods of Assessment
A
- parent/child interview
- history/review of medical records
- clinical observation
- standardized tests
3
Q
Age Equivalent Definition
A
mean chronological age represented by a certain test score
4
Q
criterion referenced
A
based on number of items correct
5
Q
norm-referenced or standardized tests
A
compare one child with the “norm” of a group of other children
6
Q
percentile score
A
child did better than certain percent of children in the norm group
- 75th percentile means they did better than 75% of children in the norm group
7
Q
Raw Score
A
total number of items passed or correct
8
Q
Guidelines for Selection of Tests
