Method We developed the hand skill framework, performed expert review, and pilot tested the ACHS. The ACHS’s reliability was examined by recruiting 54 children (30 typically developing children and 24 children with disabilities). Results The test--retest reliability for the ACHS was satisfactory at the individual item level (0.42 < or equal to k < or equal to 0.79) and the total scale level (Spearman’s r 5 0.78, p < .01). Moderate interrater agreement of the total scale scores was demonstrated (r 5 0.63, p < .01), but individual items exhibited varied interrater agreement. Conclusion The ACHS demonstrated adequate content validity and preliminary reliability evidence and could be used to quantify children’s hand skill use. Construct validity should be established in a clinical setting.
