A study consisting of three components is reported. During Phase One an extensive literature search led to a compiled set of norms for reflexive and voluntary prehensile development. Phase Two included the clinical use and revision of the resultant Erhardt Developmental Prehension Assessment (EDPA). Phase Three involved the testing of the EDPA for interrater reliability, which resulted in highly significant intraclass correlations. Single test item correlations were also analyzed to identify items needing clarification or alteration in preparation for final revision of the instrument. A sample application in the clinical field is illustrated by segments of an EDPA used to develop an Individualized Educational Plan, required by Federal Law 94-142 (Education of All Handicapped Children).
本文报告了一项由三个部分组成的研究。在第一阶段,通过广泛的文献检索,得出了一套关于反射性和自主性抓握发育的综合规范。第二阶段包括对最终形成的埃尔哈特发育抓握评估(EDPA)的临床应用和修订。第三阶段对EDPA进行评分者间信度测试,结果显示组内相关系数非常显著。还分析了单个测试项目的相关性,以确定在对该工具进行最终修订之前需要澄清或修改的项目。联邦法律94-142(《所有残疾儿童教育法》)要求制定个性化教育计划,文中展示了EDPA在临床领域的一个示例应用片段。
