The BOT-2 is a unique evaluation tool because it actually includes motor and manipulation tasks. It’s a must-have for every school district and clinic, but too expensive for therapists to purchase on their own.
It can be difficult to explain standardized test scores to parents. I’ve created a blog post that explains it, along with a free printable that you can use as a visual when going over your test results. Check it out here.Â
Personally, I use the BOT-2 often. But just like any other assessment, it’s only one piece of the puzzle. Your clinical observation skills will give you just as much information as a standardized score. AND the BOT-2 doesn’t look at visual perceptual skills, so you may want to use it along with a visual perceptual assessment.Â
Hi Miss Jaime,
It might be helpful to include additional information on the scoring interpretation of the BOT-2 since it uses a different mean and standard deviation that most of the other standardized assessment.
