Criterion Description
A Performance in daily activities requiring motor coordination is substantially below that expected.
B Activities (that require motor coordination) significantly affect academic achievement and/or activities of daily living
C Observed impairments (in activities) are not due to a general medical condition (for example hemiplegia, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy etc.).
D If learning difficulties are present, that motor difficulties are in excess of those usually associated with them.
The Leeds Consensus Statement [26] suggests the assessment of these activities should be relevant and culturally sensitive and recommends that if IQ tests are not available, intellectual ability could be established through national tests.
