O.T. Wizard Scissor Assessment for children

Scissor Assessment, V6.2

The scissor assessment was just updated to the 6th version.  The main difference in this version is that children may now get half credit for cutting segments.  This should increase scores of cutting skills and give more credit for emerging ability.

You'll score the child's cutting for a 0, 0.5, or 1.0 point for each segment.  Each cutting task is generally worth a total of 14 points.  You'll add the child's raw score to the O.T. Wizard so that the actual score can be computed.
