AB DCD is a neurodevelopmental disorder manifesting in difficulties in the motor performance, but also secondarily affects the overall psychosocial development of the given individual. Although the prevalence of DCD is up to 6%, it is an overlooked diagnosis in this country. No tool was available to identify motor deficits until the Czech version of the MABC-2 Test was published. This test assesses whether the motor performance of a child is below the expected level, given the chronological age (diagnostic criterion A for DCD). However, within the Czech environment we still lack a tool to assess the diagnostic criterion B, the impact of these deficits on the child's daily living activities and academic performance. This purpose can be served by the MABC-2 Checklist, which is originally part of the MABC-2 battery. The aim of this paper is to present a methodological procedure for the adaptation of the MABC-2 Checklist for DCD diagnostics in the Czech Republic.
