			<h3>Features</h3>

			<p>The PDMS 3 has several enhancements from the previous edition:</p>

			<ul>
				<li>The subtests of the PDMS-3 were renamed to reflect a better understanding of the skills required by the items.</li>
				<li>The addition of the supplemental Physical Fitness subtest reflects the current literature&rsquo;s interest in overweight, obesity, and fitness testing of preschool children.</li>
				<li>Examiner Record Booklets now contain complete administration and scoring instructions, allowing administration of the test without using the Examiner&rsquo;s Manual.</li>
				<li>The kit now includes a Scoring Transparency containing images of a protractor and ruler to aid examiners in scoring.</li>
				<li>The revised Illustrated Guide to Item Administration includes many replaced and updated illustrations.</li>
				<li>The Motor Activities Program was revised to be more user friendly. It contains units organised developmentally by skill area to facilitate the child&#39;s development in areas assessed as requiring intervention.</li>
				<li>The manipulative kit includes most of the manipulatives needed for testing to better ensure the standardised administration of items.</li>
				<li>Updated Peabody Motor Development Chart</li>
				<li>Norms are based on a sample of 1,452 children who were tested from Spring of 2016 through Spring of 2021.</li>
				<li>Standardised scores and corresponding narratives are obtained via the PDMS-3 Online Scoring and Report System.</li>
