The personal-social area focuses on a child's self-help and early social skills. The fine motor area evaluates a child's finger manipulations and the drawing of simple shapes. Gross motor tests assess general body control with emphasis on coordination and balance. The language portion tests the child's receptive and expressive language skills. Test kits, forms, training manuals, and films can be obtained from the publisher (LADOCA Publishing Foundation, Denver, Colorado, 80216).
