MABC (Movement Assessment Battery for Children)

The Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC) is a standardized tool used to evaluate the motor skills of children aged 3 to 16. It assesses three key areas: manual dexterity, ball skills, and balance. By conducting a series of tasks, such as throwing, catching, and balancing, the MABC helps identify children who may have developmental coordination disorders or other motor skill challenges. The results inform parents, educators, and clinicians about a child's motor abilities, guiding interventions and support to enhance their physical development and overall confidence in movement.
