Occupational Therapy: Fine Motor Assessment and Baseline Data

Are your assessment tools and data tracking systems adequate to describe the breadth and depth of fine motor skills that you want to address in therapy? Print Path’s 3- to 5-year-old Fine Motor Baselines can be used as a survey tool and a progress monitor tool. Fine Motor Baselines is appropriate for use with preschool-age students and older children with atypical development. This tool will help a licensed Occupational Therapist use appropriate developmental prompts, and efficiently document observations. Fine Motor Baselines can help the therapist document the level of assistance given for a child to accomplish tasks or measure the percentage of mastery. It will help the therapist prioritize treatment objectives and document growth. Print Path’s 3- to 5-year-old Fine Motor Baselines cannot be used to provide age-referenced norms for an assessment.

Includes, for example:
* Observation prompts for the wide variety of fine motor skills seen with typically developing 3- to 5-year-old children.
* Research-based pencil grasp categories with picture descriptions and age norms, Use as a Parent &/or Teacher handout with tips to promote pencil grasp development.
* Cue cards for finger isolation, visual motor, visual perception, and motor control data collection.
* Fun activities to measure and document a percentage of expressed hand dominance and the ability to cross the midline.
* Visual Supports and schedule board to fully engage children who have poor communication skills, are anxious, or who are reluctant in an evaluation setting.
* Color-coded materials for fast and efficient data collection.
* This 2018 revision includes 12 new pages.
