The fourth edition offers complementary texts, adjustments and corrections on motor tests. The Motor Evaluation Manual – EDM III includes numerous updates. This work is aimed at professionals in the areas of Health and Education (both regular and special): Physical Education, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Psychology, Speech Therapy, Medicine (Neuropediatría and Infantile Psychiatry), Pedagogy, Psychopedagogy and Motor Development. The reader will find detailed texts on the evaluation protocol and its theoretical foundation.

This manual presents the necessary tools to understand motor skills and the different degrees of motor development. The work is intended for those who employ evaluation as a support resource in Education and Rehabilitation, as well as those who wish to deepen the understanding of children’s evolutionary stages and their possible difficulties. This book analyzes human motricity throughout the child’s evolutionary periods, addressing the ontogeny of human development. The content is divided into two chapters: motor assessment in early childhood education, primary education and special education; and suggestions for motor activities. The reader will provide detailed descriptions of its application — including instruments and methods to be used —, all illustrated and complemented with case studies.
