The MABC2, BOT2, TGMD3, or observation can be used to assess what part of the ICF in kids with DCD?

• A. Body Functions
• B. Participation
• C. Environmental Factors
• D. Activity limitations

Answer: (D)

These motor-development and observational tools measure how well a child can perform specific motor tasks, which corresponds to the activity domain of the ICF. They quantify task execution—manual dexterity, ball skills, balance, and other functional movements—reflecting activity limitations. They don’t directly assess body functions (like strength or neuromuscular impairment) or environmental factors, and they don’t assess participation in life situations, though poor task performance can later limit participation. In kids with DCD, these measures provide a clear view of the child’s functional motor abilities and the kinds of tasks they struggle with, which is the focus of activity limitation assessment.
