Pearson Clinical Assessment

At Pearson Assessment UK, we develop and distribute assessments for professionals in psychology, allied health, general education, special needs education, and other areas serving people of all ages and cultures.

What is happening?

Pearson Assessment is collecting data for a new project involving the development of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children - Third Edition (MABC-3) and the Detailed Assessment for Speed of Handwriting (DASH-2). For this project, we will measure an individuals' movement ability and handwriting speed. By testing a large number of people, we can understand how individuals aged 16 to 25 years typically perform. The results from this project will help develop the new assessments. The published assessment will then enable professionals to identify people who require intervention and support with movement activities and handwriting problems.

We would welcome your participation in the project.

Please click NEXT at the bottom of the page to continue.

What will the project involve?

If you agree to be involved, Pearson Assessment will first determine whether you fit the criteria for taking part based on the demographic information you provide.

If you are chosen to take part, we will contact you to arrange an assessment session. This should take around 45 minutes. The assessment will take place either at home or at a convenient public location, you can request a parent/carer to be present during the assessment but this is by no means necessary. The tests will be conducted by a trained professional (with an enhanced DBS check), who will ask you to complete some movement activities such as throwing, catching and jumping and/or handwriting tasks. In certain circumstances, the examiner may hold your hand to assist with balance tasks.

As part of the project you and another adult that knows you, will need to complete a checklist regarding your movement abilities. This will be used to help interpret the data collected from your assessment. Further details will be provided if you are selected to take part.

A small proportion of participants will be asked to take part in an additional study. This will involve either the repetition of the same assessments or being assessed with a similar assessment. If you are selected to take part in one of these studies, you will be given further information about this at the time.
