The Peabody Developmental Motor Scales - Second Edition (PDMS-2) 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 is composed of six subtests that measure interrelated motor abilities that develop early in life, and is designed to assess the motor skills of children from birth through 5 years of age. The PDMS-2 Examiner's Manual provides extensive information on the Test Development and Standardisation, Scoring and Interpretation of the PDMS-2 and Psychometric Properties.

The separate PDMS-2 Guide to Item Administration provides detailed instructions on how to administer and score each PDMS-2 item.

Subtests: • Reflexes: This 8-item subtest measures a child's ability to automatically react to environmental events. Because reflexes typically become integrated by the time a child is 12 months old, this subtest is only given to children birth through 11 months.

• Stationary: This 30-item subtest measures a child's ability to sustain control of his or her body within its center of gravity and retain equilibrium. • Locomotion: This 89-item subtest measures a child's ability to move from one place to another. The actions measured include crawling, walking, running, hopping, and jumping forward. • Object Manipulation: This 24-item subtest measures a child's ability to manipulate balls. Examples of the actions measured include catching, throwing, and kicking. Because these skills are not apparent until a child has reached the age of 11 months, this subtest is only given to children ages 12 months and older. • Grasping: This 26-item subtest measures a child's ability to use his or her hands.

It begins with the ability to hold an object with one hand and progresses up to actions involving the controlled use of the fingers of both hands. • Visual-Motor Integration: This 72-item subtest measures a child's ability to use his or her visual perceptual skills to perform complex eye-hand coordination tasks such as reaching and grasping for an object, building with blocks, and copying designs. Composites: • Fine Motor Quotient: This composite is a combination of the results of the subtests that measure the use of the small muscle systems: Grasping (all ages), Visual-Motor Integration (all ages). • Gross Motor Quotient: This composite is a combination of the results of the subtests that measure the use of the large muscle systems: • Reflexes (birth-11 months only) • Stationary (all ages) • Locomotion (all ages) • Object Manipulation (12 months and older) • Total Motor Quotient: This composite is formed by a combination of the results of the gross and fine motor subtests.

Because of this, it is the best estimate of overall motor abilities. Psychometrically, the PDMS-2 has improved in the following ways: • All of the new normative data were collected in the Winter of 1997 and the Spring of 1998. • Characteristics of the normative sample relative to geography, gender, race, and other critical variables are the same as those reported in the Statistical Abstract of the United States (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1997) and are therefore representative of the current U.S. • The normative information has been stratified by age.

• Studies showing the absence of gender and racial bias have been added. • Reliability coefficients were computed for subgroups of the normative sample (e.g., individuals with motor disabilities, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, females, and males) as well as for the entire normative sample. • New validity studies have been conducted; special attention has been devoted to showing that the test is valid for a wide variety of subgroups as well as for the general population. • Each item was evaluated using both conventional item analyses to choose “good” statistical items and the new differential item functioning analyses to find biased items. • The second edition of the PDMS has also improved or added the following user-friendly components: • The new Profile/Summary Forms enable the examiner to record the child's PDMS-2 scores and graphically display the child's performance in two formats. First, the examiner records the child's name and calculates his or her age.
