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