Summary: Movement ABC-2 comprises three components: a standardised Test and a Checklist ..., and a companion manual describing the Ecological Approach to Intervention for Children with Movement Difficulties (El Manual). Both the Movement ABC-2 Test and Checklist focus on the identification and description of impairments of motor function in children, yet complement each other in the way information is gathered. The Test involves the child directly, whereas the Checklist requires an adult to rate the child's motor competence.
