dc.description.abstractDesigned by a group of South African Occupational Therapists, the Quick Screening Procedure for Referral to Occupational Therapy (QSPOT) screens motor, praxis and sensory-perceptual performance skills related to intrinsic barriers to learning in children aged between 4 and 6 years. The aim of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the QSPOT in identifying intrinsic barriers to learning in 5 year olds, as well as the concurrent criterion validity of the QSPOT compared to the Movement ABC-2, and the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration, 6th Edition (VMI and Visual Perception subtests). Eighty-three learners in mainstream schools and Learners with Special Education Needs schools were assessed with all three tests. Acceptable specificity was found for the QSPOT; however, sensitivity was unacceptably low. Adequate concurrent criterion validity was found between the QSPOT Total Score and the Movement ABC-2 Total Score, as well as between the QSPOT and DTVMI-VMI for Age-band 1 (5 years 0 months to 5 years 5 months). However, inadequate concurrent criterion validity was found for the QSPOT for Age-band 2 (5 years 6 months to 5 years 11 months). Key words: Intrinsic barriers to learning, motor and praxis performance skills, sensory-perceptual performance skills, screening, screening procedures, sensitivity, specificity, concurrent criterion validityen_ZA
