PDMS - 2 Flashcards
what is the first thing you need to do with the PDMS - 2
determine and select test or tests to use based on setting and child’s age
always consider what?
the child factors and reason for referral or concern area(s0
it is _____ and _____
standardized and norm referenced
this is what type of assessment
quantitative
administration ages are:
birth to 5 years, 11 months of age
assess what :
motor development delays compared to same ages peers(normative data)
subtests areas of:
- reflexes
- stationary
- locomotion
- object manipulation
- grasping
- visual motor integration
reflexes are tested
only on child birth to 11 monts of age
when would you stop reflex testing?
11 mons of age
stationary subtest assesses
body control and balance skills
locomotion subtest assesses
ability to move such as crawl walk, hop, or jump
object manipulation assesses
ability to manipulate a ball (tennis and 8 inch size ball)
grasping assesses
ability to hold and manipulate objects and tools
visual motor integration
assesses visual perceptual skills copy design tasks
prematurity adjustment is used only for children
who are less than 24 months
when calculating CA do not
round up in days
object manipulation subtest is performed only on children
over 1 year in age
CA is used to determine
entry points
entry points on the PDSM-2 are
spots that you start at to determine where the child performing the assessment should start
basal level
where child receive score of 2s on three items in a row (indicating the child is able to successfully complete the task item meeting criteria indicated on examiner record booklet)
ceiling level
where child scores 0s on three items in a row (this indicates that items are more difficult, child unable to perform per criteria)
basal and ceiling levels assist with determining the
raw score for each subtest area AND to reduce the testing of all items in the subtest
what two forms do you need for the PDMS-2
examiner booklet and summary form
use raw score of subtest area to calculate
standard score
standard score is in
appendix A
use raw score to also calculate
percentile
percentile is found in
appendix A
how do you find the sum of standard scores
add up standard scores for gross motor and fine motor
after you have sum of standard scores you
convert sum to fine motor and gross motor quotients and percentiles
where are fine motor and gross motor quotients and percentiles found?
appendix B
what is the total motor quotient
results of GMQ and FMQ
best estimate of overall motor ability
last thing you find from the raw score
calculate age equivalent from raw scores
where are the age equivalents located
appendix c
GMQ measures have results from what three subtests
reflexes
stationary
locomotion and
object manipulation
four things you determine from raw score?
standard scores
percentile ranks
TMQ (quotients and percentiles0
Age equivalent
percentiles indicates
the percentage of distribution that is equal to or below a particular score
standard scores provide
a distribution of child scores in comparison with same age peers which helps “examiner” understand if child’s score is average below average etc.
advantage of the PDMS -2 is that it has both
qualitative and quantative
