    Summary

    This study found that the Callier-Azusa Scale and Fircrest Deaf-Blind Motor Assessment Tool correlate highly with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development for assessing motor skills in children with severe multiple handicaps.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Pediatric Motor Assessment
    • Disability Studies

    Background:

    • Accurate motor development assessment is crucial for children with severe multiple handicaps.
    • Standardized tools are needed to evaluate developmental progress in this population.
    • Existing tools may vary in their assessment scope and methodology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the concurrent validity of the Callier-Azusa Scale and the Fircrest Deaf-Blind Motor Assessment Tool against the Bayley Scales of Infant Development.
    • To investigate the relationship between developmental age equivalent scores from these three motor assessment tools.
    • To support the use of objective measurement tools for severely disabled children.

    Main Methods:

    • Three developmental motor assessment tools were administered to 17 children with severe multiple handicaps.

  • The Bayley Scales of Infant Development served as the criterion standard for concurrent validity.
  • Correlations between age equivalent scores from the Bayley Scales, Callier-Azusa Scale, and Fircrest Deaf-Blind Motor Assessment Tool were analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • Highly significant positive correlations were observed between the Bayley Scales and both the Callier-Azusa Scale and the Fircrest Deaf-Blind Motor Assessment Tool.
    • Despite variations in assessed behaviors, the tools showed strong agreement in developmental age equivalent scores.
    • The findings indicate a robust relationship among the three instruments.

    Conclusions:

    • The Callier-Azusa Scale and Fircrest Deaf-Blind Motor Assessment Tool demonstrate concurrent validity when compared to the Bayley Scales of Infant Development.
    • Objective and quantifiable motor assessment tools are effective for determining developmental motor age in severely disabled children.
    • These findings support the reliable application of these tools in clinical and research settings for this population.
