A workshop exploring how Bruininks findings can be understood in relation to sensory-motor foundations, confidence, coordination, and school participation.
Explore Bruininks results through a sensory integration lens and link motor findings to school participation.
This workshop looks at the Bruininks as a measure of motor proficiency and considers how results may be understood through a sensory integration lens. It explores the difference between describing motor performance and understanding underlying sensory-motor contributions, especially in relation to coordination, confidence, participation, and functional school demands.
Learning outcomes
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Describe the purpose and structure of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency
- Distinguish between motor performance findings and sensory integrative explanations
- Discuss how findings may relate to coordination, bilateral integration, confidence, and school participation
- Reflect on how to use motor findings more thoughtfully within broader school-based formulation
- Leave more confident in linking motor test data to meaningful school participation concerns
Participants will learn it through guided teaching on the Bruininks, discuss it in relation to real school cases, apply it to participation based reasoning, reflect on current use of motor data, and take it back into practice through stronger interpretation. participation-based
