PDMS-3 Examiner's Manual

The Peabody Developmental Motor Scales–Third Edition (PDMS-3) is an early childhood motor development program that provides both in-depth assessment and training or remediation of gross and fine motor skills. The assessment measures interrelated motor abilities that develop early in life. The PDMS-3 can be used by occupational therapists, physical therapists, diagnosticians, early intervention specialists, psychologists, and others who are interested in examining the motor abilities of young children.

The PDMS-3 has five core subtests and one supplemental subtest: Body Control, Body Transport, Object Control, Hand Manipulation, Eye-Hand Coordination and Physical Fitness (Supplemental Subtest).
