. 2019 Jan 22;61(3):242–285. doi: 10.1111/dmcn.14132

Recommendation 11	GCP
We recommend the use of an appropriate motor test that measures different areas of motor competence, has good reliability and validity, and has population‐based standardization (appropriately norm‐referenced). The test should measure different types of motor skills to describe one's motor competence or difficulties. Comment: Because language is involved, handwriting and keyboarding are areas of motor competence that should be assessed separately with standardized and psychometrically sound measures.	⇑⇑
