● Information about the family and its genetic history, the pregnancy, labor, and delivery of the child, and
the perinatal and neonatal events should be obtained
● Developing a rapport with the family and child, assuring comfort in the environment, and being flexible
and accommodating to the child’s temperament, behavior, or special needs is a necessary skill for the
pediatric physical therapist

In order to choose an appropriate test, some guidelines by which to evaluate a test are needed. Stangler and associates have proposed six criteria for evaluating a screening test that can be applied to any
assessment test:

It was developed by Coster, Deeney, Haltiwanger, and Haley in response to the need for an effective functional performance measure for children attending elementary school. A reliable and valid assessment tool specific to the student’s needs and abilities and performance within the school environment is necessary for effective evaluation and service planning
