These are instructions for a therapist giving a child gross motor skills help.

I do not understand what this means. The phrase reads:

Marker is a common term used in Romanian to name coloured felt tip pens.
Lara Barnett (asker) Jul 22, 2015:
Markers Thank you for your help. "Markers" can mean pens but I did not realise this was a possibility here. How often is "markers" used in Romanian to describe pens? Is this quite common in your knowledge?
translat_r_p (X) Jul 22, 2015:
@lee roth, I thought about that, too. "Markers" could be some kind of objects, like boxes with lids, to indicate the way, eventually, but it didn`t make much sense. I`ve been working with special needs children for a while and, thinking back, felt-tips made more sense. Now, I think Lara will choose what she thinks fits best her text. :)

agree Liviu-Lee Roth : although I do not disagree with you, ”markers” in psychology have another meaning. I think it could be any large object (marker) with a lid (box, jar etc) - just my interpretation ... could be wrong.

Thanks for your support. What is the meaning you are talking about? I would like to know it. As for my interpretation, I was thinking of a child's gross locomotor skills, what it can and can't do.
