[Psychomotor development of children with psychiatric disorders assessed by Movement-ABC-Checklist and Movement-ABC-Test].
Research was done about the agreement between test results and checklist information concerning psychomotor development. The Movement ABC checklist and the Movement-ABC-test were administered in 34 children from the child and adolescent psychiatry unit of the UZ Gasthuisberg, of Leuven, Belgium. The children were 25 boys and 9 girls aged 4 to 12 years. There was a moderate association between the test results of the children and the judgements of the carepersons, suggesting that use of the checklist instead of testing cannot be deemed a good alternative.
