Motor Skills Assessment
Motor skills assessment is a process used to evaluate an individual's ability to perform movements and tasks that require coordination and control. This assessment typically focuses on both fine motor skills, which involve small muscle movements like writing or buttoning a shirt, and gross motor skills, which involve larger movements such as running or jumping.
The assessment can be conducted through various methods, including standardized tests and observational techniques. Professionals, such as occupational therapists or physical therapists, often use these assessments to identify areas of strength and weakness, guiding interventions to improve overall motor function and daily living skills.
