Abstract
ABSTRACT The MABC-2 Checklist is a method designed preferentially for teachers and parents to evaluate how well a child performs movement skills within school, family and community settings. It serves as screening tool for the impact of motor skills deficits in children on activities of daily living, academic or school performance, leisure and play. This tool also assists in the identification of developmental coordination disorder (DCD), specially for examination of its diagnostic criterion B according to the DSM-5th edition. To use this tool more broadly in psychological and educational settings in different countries, it is useful to judge its psychometric properties and possible diagnostic limitations. This article reviews the content of the MABC-2 Checklist in the context of its development, different aspects of validity and reliability, including contribution and possible limitations of this tool for motor assessment and identification of DCD in children.
