Peabody Developmental Motor Scales

The Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (PDMS) is a standardized assessment tool designed to evaluate the motor skills of children from birth to age 5. It measures both gross motor skills (like walking and jumping) and fine motor skills (such as grasping and manipulating small objects). The PDMS helps identify developmental delays, guiding interventions and support. It involves observing a child as they perform various tasks, providing insights into their physical development and helping caregivers and professionals understand the child's strengths and areas needing improvement.
