The Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (PDMS)

The Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (PDMS) is a standardized assessment tool used by professionals to measure a child's motor development, including their ability to move and coordinate their body. It evaluates skills such as grasping, crawling, standing, and walking, helping identify areas where a child may need support. The PDMS provides a detailed picture of a child's motor skills relative to typical developmental milestones, guiding intervention strategies to promote healthy motor development. It is typically used for children from birth through age five.
