What clothes should a child wear in order to participate in a Movement ABC–2 assessment?
Suitable physical education clothing (gym shorts, T-shirt, gym shoes or trainers) is strongly recommended so that movement is unimpaired and easily observed. Tracksuits, warm-up pants, or everyday trousers are acceptable provided movement is not restricted in any way. If a child arrives for testing without the recommended clothing or footwear, use your judgement about their suitability, particularly with regard to safety. If the child usually wears glasses, make sure they are brought along to the test session and are worn for the relevant tasks. The examiner should also wear appropriate clothing and footwear to facilitate demonstration of the tasks to the child.
