INTERPRETATION

12
 The examiner performed seven activities in the gross motor sector. Bears some weight on

legs, rolls over, sit head steady and prone head up 45 degrees are all scored “passed”. While the

three activities: pull to sit and prone chest up arm support and prone head up 90 degrees are all

given a scored failed. Four are scored passed out of the seven items that were administered.
