You need to contact Pauline Watter at the Physiotherapy dept uni of Qld.
She has done lots of work in this area.
Telephone 07 3365 2019 or email me and I will forward it onto her

If you want the measures to be standardised and validated ones then you could use the Gross MOtor Function Measure, or the MOvement ABC.

I would be intersted to discuss details of the movement groups, (I have a dance and physio background) and I think its important that outcome measures include enjoyment of the program and self esteem measurements

have you come across Michelle Lee? She has a pack which she uses to assess cordination difficulties and it is excellent

I use movement abc followed by co-ordination/movement groups (if appropriate) plus home activities for 6 weeks reassessment after 3-4 months. results are encouraging
