Motor Proficiency Evaluation

We assess children’s fine and gross motor skills using a reliable and effective tool that offers insights into their motor development, which is essential for everyday activities. By identifying motor delays early, we can implement timely interventions to enhance children’s ability to participate actively in physical play and classroom activities. The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2) is a comprehensive tool that evaluates a child’s coordination, balance, and strength, all of which are crucial for daily functions. Let’s help them embark on a path to success and enjoyment!

Talent Identification

The Talent Identification (TI) assessment helps find out your kid’s physical, mental, and emotional abilities. This information guides you in choosing the right sport that fits you. We use various tests, including body measurements, movement activities, and psychological evaluations, to guide each child to a sport that suits their unique strengths. You may even discover a thrilling new sport that ignites your passion!

Why Physical and Motor Skills should be assessed?

Research shows that early childhood is a critical period for developing motor skills and healthy habits. However, many kindergartens and schools focus predominantly on mental education, leaving physical literacy underemphasized. A comprehensive physical assessment helps identify areas of strength and areas needing improvement, providing a clearer picture of each child’s overall well-being.
By integrating valid and reliable assessments, we can ensure that children are developing essential motor and physical skills. These assessments offer tangible benefits that support both children’s physical development and academic success.

 

What are the movement assessment advantages for children?

Improved Physical Literacy: By understanding each child’s physical development needs, you can design more tailored physical education activities. Physical activity has been proven to enhance cognitive function, helping children focus better and learn more effectively.
Prevent Future Problems: Early assessments help identify postural or motor issues before they become problematic, reducing the risk of injuries and promoting lifelong physical activity habits.
Boost Self-Confidence: The ability to perform various movement skills improves children’s body image and self-confidence, encouraging them to engage in physical activities and social interactions.

 

How do performing kids’ movement assessment and talent identification affect your institute’s reputation?

In today’s educational landscape, many kindergartens and schools focus predominantly on academic achievement, often sidelining the importance of physical literacy. By implementing comprehensive movement assessments, your institution can provide valuable insights into each child’s physical development and athletic potential. This proactive approach not only demonstrates a commitment to nurturing the whole child but also gives parents confidence that their children are receiving a balanced and enriching education. As a result, your school may become increasingly attractive and trustworthy in the eyes of parents seeking a well-rounded experience for their children.
