Factor structure and psychometric properties of the Child Oral and Motor Proficiency Scale

In this study, we present the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Child Oral and Motor Proficiency Scale (ChOMPS). Based on data from 364 children between 6 months and 7 years of age, we identified four subscales: complex movement patterns, basic movement patterns, oral-motor coordination, and fundamental oral-motor skills. The ChOMPS is a 63-item parent-report measure of eating, drinking, and related motor skills in children aged 6 months to 7 years with evidence of acceptable internal consistency reliability, test–retest reliability, convergent validity, and known-groups validity.
