Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI)

The Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) is a standardized tool used to assess children’s functional abilities and disabilities. It evaluates how well children perform essential daily activities such as self-care, mobility, and social interactions. Designed for children from birth to age 21, the PEDI helps healthcare professionals, educators, and therapists understand a child's strengths and challenges. By gathering information from parents or caregivers, the tool provides insights that guide intervention planning and track progress over time, ensuring that children receive appropriate support to enhance their development and quality of life.
