“…Our results indicate that the LDCDQ-BE might not be suitable to detect low M-ABC-2 performance in a population based sample. Even in high-risk groups the LDCDQ-BE alone should not be used to screen for mild to moderate motor impairment (Ouellet-Scott et al, 2020). Indeed, although sensitivity and specificity were higher in other studies, none of the studies showed a desirable 80% sensitivity and specificity (Glascoe, 2005).…”

“…From an applied viewpoint, since the diagnosis of the DCD is underestimated, screening activities in kindergartners and school-aged children should be encouraged, especially among very-preterm individuals who are particularly at risk for motor impairments (Ouellet-Scott et al., 2020). As suggested elsewhere (Asunta et al., 2019), in order to promote the early identification of children with motor difficulties or DCD, it is first of all necessary to develop experimentally robust screening tools, such as observational scales and questionnaires, designed for teachers and parents.…”

This review is intended to point out the role played by motor skills proficiency in the academic achievement of typically and atypically developing pupils who are attending primary school. First, the interplay between motor and cognitive development will be presented. Next, the cognitive phenotype, not yet deeply investigated, of a neurodevelopmental condition associated with the atypical development of motor functions (known as Developmental Coordination Disorder) will be illustrated. Thus, the contribution of motor functions to academic learning and the impact of motor difficulties for pupils attending primary school will be discussed. In addition, the importance of developing observational tools to be used in educational settings and the need for effective interventions designed to empower motor functioning and academic achievement of atypically developing pupils with motor deficits will be highlighted. Finally, future directions within the educational agencies for the early detection of the atypically developing motor trajectories and their treatment will be traced.

“…The most commonly used and recommended parent‐completed developmental screening tools in the primary care setting include the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, Third Edition, the Child Development Inventory, and the Parents' Evaluations of Developmental Status 8,10,34 . These measures have been validated in typically developing infants and, to a lesser extent, in infants born preterm; 10,35,36 however, each has limitations. For example, the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, Third Edition identifies risk based on pre‐established cutoff scores while none of the instruments examines deviations in developmental trajectories in infants at risk for neurodevelopmental disorders 36,37 …”

In psychometric theory, a latent trait is an unobservable trait or ability (e.g.…”

AimTo examine the extent to which estimates of a latent trait or underlying construct of motor ability differ in infants born at term and preterm, based on caregiver ratings of the motor domain of PediaTrac v3.0.MethodThe sample consisted of 571 caregiver–infant dyads (331 born at term, 240 born preterm), 48% female, with 51.7% of caregivers identifying as an ethnic minority. Latent trait of motor ability was estimated based on item response theory modeling. Gestational group differences (term and preterm birth) were examined at the newborn/term‐equivalent, 2‐, 4‐, 6‐, 9‐, and 12‐month time points.ResultsCaregiver ratings of latent trait of motor ability were reliably modeled across the range of abilities at each time point. While the group born preterm exhibited significantly more advanced motor abilities at the term‐equivalent time point, by 6 months the group born at term was more advanced. Biological sex difference main and interaction effects were not significant.InterpretationCaregivers provided reliable, longitudinal estimates of motor ability in infancy, reflecting important differences in the motor development of infants born at term and preterm. The findings suggest that significant motor development occurs in infants born preterm from birth to the term‐equivalent time point and provide a foundation to examine motor growth trajectories as potential predictors in the early identification of neurodevelopmental conditions and needs.
