Comprehensive clinical assessment instrument that samples key functional capabilities and performance in children from the ages of 6 months to 7.5 years. PEDI is primarily designed for the functional evaluation of young children, but can be used for the evaluation of older children if their functional abilities fall below that expected of 7.5 year old children with no disabilities. PEDI measures both capability and performance of functional activities in three content domains: 1) self-care, 2) mobility, and 3) social function. PEDI consists of 197 functional skill items, and 20 items that assess caregiver assistance and modifications. Experienced therapists and teachers can complete the PEDI on a child with whom they are familiar in 20-30 minutes. Administration of the PEDI by structured parent interview can be completed in 45-60 minutes. Contents: manual and record forms. Circulation restricted to Keystone AEA Special Education staff. | |
