The DEVPRO MOTOR SKILLS ASSESSMENT is a criterion-referenced test instrument which measures skill acquisition on 22 gross motor and perceptual-motor sub-tests. The Assessment is a database of over 950 skills arranged by developmental level, and all of the skills have been entered into the database for you. The skills and test tasks have been researched and documented using over 90 professional resources, giving the DEVPRO Motor Skills Assessment a high face validity and content validity.

It takes 20-40 minutes to assess a student using the DEVPRO Motor Skills Assessment. Skill level descriptions are shown on screen in a dialog box for ease of selection.

The student database stores demographic information and important dates as well as the test scores. DEVPRO's recommended goals and objectives are derived from the student's weak areas of skill development, using DEVPRO's innovative "improvement index".

Two comment sections are provided to note evaluator's observations about the student.

The skill modes can be shown on a graph relating the skill test modes (developmental ages) to the student's age. This useful visual aid can also be printed.

DEVPRO manages the entire caseload of the instructor, and can summarize annual review dates, service delivery schedules, name and address rosters, and other useful data spreadsheets. Example: sort students by next review date to list your test schedule for the year.

DEVPRO includes already designed evaluation forms and data reports. You can edit them using SimpleText(tm). You can also create new types of forms and reports to meet his or her evaluation and data needs. Rich Text Format (RTF) is supported allowing your Macintosh word processor to create, edit, and print evaluation forms.

The following sample report for a fictional student is in Adobe Acrobat PDF format and requires the free Acrobat Reader software to view. You can download the Acrobat Reader software from http://www.adobe.com/.
