Bot-2 Research Paper
BOT 2 Anna Blaske, Brenda Croell, Katie Hering
Authors: Robert H. Bruininks & Brett D. Bruininks
Publisher: AGS (American Guidance Service Inc.)
Date: 2005
Ages: 4:0-21:11
Individual
Time: 10-15 minutes for each composite - 40-60 minutes for full test
User Qualifications: Professionals working in adaptive education or physical and occupational therapy who have completed training in testing and measurement.
Purported Use:
The BOT-2 is used to efficiently measure fine and gross motor control skills in individuals ages 4 to 21. It is used by occupational therapists, physical therapists, DAPE teachers, and researchers. The BOT-2 can identify motor-skill deficits in individuals with mild to moderate motor control problems. The testing is organized around the muscle groups and limbs involved …show more content…
There are eight sub-tests in the BOT-2 they are; fine motor precision, fine motor integration, manual dexterity, bilateral coordination, balance, running speed and agility, upper-limb coordination, and strength. There are four different ways the BOT-2 can be administered for educational use; the complete form, the short form, select composites, or select subtests.
Psychometric Information:
Normative sampled in the United States on 1520 children ages 4 - 21 years old from 2004 - 2005.
Stratification was based on age, gender, socioeconomic status, ethnic background, geographic area, and educational placement.
Great interrater reliability
Test-retest reliability of the cognitive, language, and motor scales was assessed by testing 134 children twice by the same assessor over 7 to 42 days. Correlation scores varied depending on ages. Scores ranged from 0.69 to the low 0.80s for the subscale scores, and from the mid0.80s to upper 0.80s for the total motor composite and short form reliability
All items in test are a good fit for what is being
