  • Plan intervention 
  • Measure change and monitor progress over time 
  • Widely known and respected for use in research related to motor development

Test content and structure

The test contains 10 tasks for each of 3 age ranges: 3 – 6 years (3-year-olds complete 7 tasks); 7 – 11 years and 12 – 25 years. The tasks cover the following 3 domains: 

  • Manual Dexterity 
  • 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. 

The Movement ABC-3 Checklists

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

Use the Checklist to: 

  • Assess groups of students in classroom situations 
  • Obtain parents’ or teachers’ views on an individual’s movement in everyday settings 
  • Measure the extent to which a young person’s attitudes and feelings about motor tasks are situation specific or more generalised 
  • Ascertain the impact of motor difficulties on an individual’s participation in everyday activities 

Digital administration and scoring options

The Movement ABC-3 Test is administered using paper record forms. The Movement ABC-3 Checklist can be administered using either paper or digital administration. Online scoring is available via Pearson’s Q-global® online assessment platform.
