Key Descriptions

The BOT-2 measures fine and gross motor development in 4 motor area composites with 8 subtests comprised of 53 items in the categories listed below:
Fine Manual Control
A) Fine Motor Precision (7 items)
B) Fine Motor Integration (8 items)
Manual Coordination
A) Manual Dexterity (5 items)
B) Upper-limb Coordination (7 items)
Body Coordination
A) Bilateral Coordination (7 items)
B) Balance (9 items)
Strength and Agility
A) Running Speed and Agility (5 items)
B) Strength (5 items)
Administration instructions can be found in the test kit's Administration Easel. The BOT-2 offers the following administration options:
A) Complete Form: the preferred administration option, as it has been found to be most reliable and comprehensive measure of motor proficiency
B) Short Form: for screening or program evaluation
C) Select Composites: administered based on individual needs
D) Select Subtests: administered based on individual needs
For each item, the raw score is determined according to the Administration Easel, which can include a number of points, a number of correct activities performed, or a number of seconds, amongst others. Raw scores are then converted to point scores using information provided on the Record Form.
For each subtest, total point scores are computed by adding up all the point scores. The norm tables provided in the manual are then used to convert the point scores into scale scores for each subset, and then to obtain standard scores and percentile ranks for motor-area composites and finally for the total motor composite.
Confidence intervals, age equivalents, and descriptive categories can also be extracted from the tables based on point, scale, and standard scores.
The Score Profile page of the Record Form allows for a graphic display of the scale scores, standard scores, and confidence intervals.
The Pairwise Comparisons page compares performance on motor areas composites and subtests to discover strengths and weaknesses.
Scores for the Complete Form and for the Short Form are reported as
total point scores, standard scores, or percentile ranks (Deitz, Kartin, & Kopp, 2007).
Minimum and maximum scores are as follows:
A) Total point scores: Complete Form: 0 to 320; Short Form: 0 to 88
B) Standard scores: 20 to 80
C) Percentile ranks: <1 to >99

Considerations

The administrator selects the most relevant and useful form, i.e., complete form, short form, composites, subtests. The short formoverviews the client’s fine and gross motor functioning. The complete form is the most reliableand should be used to determine diagnoses or eligibility for services (Bruininks, 2005).
For children with a discrepancy between gross motor and fine motor abilities, overall score may be within the norm due to high grossor fine motor performance. However, this may disqualify the child from eligibility for services, even if the child should benefit from them (Deitz, Kartin, & Kopp, 2007).
Consider the ecological validity of the BOT-2 in different cultures. Vincon, Green, Blank, and Jenetzky (2016) studied the ecological validity of the BOT-2 with German children. Tasks that more closely resembled everyday tasks were better predictors of real world performance. Not all activities wererelevant to German children.
BOT-2 ASSIST software simplifies the scoring process and eliminates human error.

FAQs

How long does the bot-2 assessment take? ›

Time to Administer

The complete form takes 40-60 minutes to administer, with 10 additional minutes to prepare the testing area. The short form takes 15-20 minutes to administer, with an additional 5 minutes to set up the testing area.

Is the bot-2 valid? ›

The BOT-2 has appropriate validity and reliability as well as high sensitivity and characteristic in preschool children. The teachers and mentors can use the BOT-2 test to evaluate and screen children aged four to seven years. The BOT-2 can be used to evaluate motor skills and diagnose children with DCD.

Tell Me More ›

How do you score the bot-2 assessment? ›

This time you will use the total point score from each subtest and match it with the designated age

Discover More ›

What are the subtests in the bot-2? ›

The BOT-2 consists of both a Complete and Short Form, and is comprised of four composites with eight subtests, including Fine Manual Control, Manual Coordination, Body Coordination, and Strength and Agility.

Explore More ›

What age range is the bot-2 for? ›

BOT-2 measures fine and gross motor proficiency, with subtests that focus on stability, mobility, strength, coordination, and object manipulation. The test is tailored to school-aged children and young adults among the ages of 4-21 years, who have varying motor control abilities ranging from normal to mild or moderate.

Learn More ›

How often can you retest with the bot-2? ›

The minimum recommended interval for reassessment with the BOT-2 is 3 months or more. The test-retest data gathered during development of the BOT-2 show minimal mean differences with an average retest interval of 19-20 days, and average test score differences in the test-retest study are well below the SEms.

What does the bot 2 short form assess? ›

The Bruininks-Oseretsky test [33], or the so-called BOT-2 test, has been designed to assess fine and gross motor skills (motor skill efficiency) of children 4 through 21 years of age. This test has a very broad application in physical therapy, adaptive physical exercise, and even in science.

What is the average standard score for the bot-2? ›

Results: The BOT-2 SF provided a statistically significantly lower standard score x = 45.87 (±5.41) compared to the BOT-2 CF x = 47.57 (±8.29) p < 0.05 with middle effect size value, Hays ω² = 0.09.

View Details ›

Who can administer the bot-2? ›

With a well-trained facilitator in a professional role (i.e., professional facilitator, certified assistant), subtests from the BOT–2 could successfully be administered with a remote examiner and all subtest and composite scores could be derived.

See Details ›

What is the confidence interval in bot-2? ›

When a standard score or a scale score is reported, the corresponding 90% confidence interval is presented in parentheses.
