“…There are a number of different tools available to assist clinicians and researchers with the evaluation and measurement of different aspects of motor skills development and their contribution to motor performance [55,56]. This study used the following measure.…”

“…The short form (14 items), which was used in this study, takes 15-20 min to administer, with another five minutes being required to tape off the running course. Liu et al (2015) noted that it is most efficient for practitioners to evaluate a child using the short form first [56]. The short-form BOT-2 consists of 14 items covering eight subtests and including the widest possible range of abilities to produce sufficiently reliable scores (see Table 2).…”

This study aims to determine the prevalence, severity, and nature of the motor abnormalities seen in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as well as to elucidate the associated developmental profiles. The short-form of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2) was used to assess various aspects of the motor performance of 119 children with ASD and 30 typically developing children (age range: 6–12 years) from three Gulf states. The results revealed the high prevalence of motor abnormalities among the ASD group when compared with the normative data derived from the BOT-2 manual as well as with the data concerning the typically developing group. The results also indicated that the motor performance of the children with ASD fell within the below-average range according to the BOT-2 cut-off score. Further, the results suggested that the age variable may influence the overall motor performance of children with ASD, since the children’s motor abnormalities may decrease with maturation. The results concerning the specific motor dysfunction profiles seen in individuals with ASD could help practitioners, parents, and educators to better understand the nature of the motor deficits exhibited by children with ASD, which could assist with the design and implementation of treatment and rehabilitation programs for such children. Overall, motor performance represents an important aspect that should be considered during the clinical evaluation of ASD and that should not be ignored during early interventions.
