[Adta] Movement Assessment tools

[Beth Kalish-Weiss,PhD]

Dear Robyn:
A correction on your list below. There are two assessments that are confused here.  1) The Behavior Rating Instrument for Autistic and other Atypical Children(1976), BRIAAC is authored by: Ruttenberg, B., Kalish, B.I., Wenar, C. and Wolf, E.. Chicago. Stoelting & Co.. Dutch Translation: Amsterdam: Svets and Zeitlinger.

2) The Body Movement Scale for Autistic and other Atypical Children: An Exploratory Study using a Normal Group and an Aypical Group (1977) is authored by B.I. Kalish. Bryn Mawr College, Philadephia. Dissertation Abstracts International, 1977, Vol. XXXVI. No. 10.

Please note that the Body Movement Scale is included in BRIAAC, but can stand on its own as a developmental assessment of movement behaviors. 
Thank you for making this clear.

Regards,
Beth
