Once the child begins to eat complimentary foods, oral feeding skills are more observably measured. To effectively eat, the child relies on developing fine and gross motor skills; therefore, these skills are also measured by the ChOMPS to identify the full range of motor skills needed for effective eating. The ChOMPS has 63 items and 4 subscales: Complex Movement Patterns, Basic Movement Patterns, Oral-Motor Coordination, and Fundamental Oral-Motor Skills. Since the ChOMPS measures child abilities, parents score each item on a 3-point scale (Yes, Sometimes, Not Yet). Total and total subscale scores are derived with higher scores indicating more skill. Percentiles and T scores represented by the total and subscale scores are provided in the ChOMPS Scoring Guidelines.
