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.
