Objective[edit | edit source]
The Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) is an interview-based tool that assesses functional abilities, level of independence and extent of modification needed for a child to carry out functional activities. Originally published in 1992 by Haley et al., it has been translated into multiple languages and developed into a computer-adaptive test — Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory-Computer Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT)[1][2]
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
- PEDI measures functional performance in children ranging from 6 months to 7 and a half years of age.
- PEDI-CAT can be used for newborns up to 21-year-olds with various developmental disorders.
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
The PEDI comprises three domains: self-care, mobility, and social function. Each domain evaluates specific tasks including feeding, dressing, walking, and communicating with others. It takes into consideration the child's age, developmental stage, and specific diagnosis.[1]
It is scored on a four-point scale:
- 0 - unable to perform the task
- 1 - can perform the task with assistance
- 2 - can perform the task independently but with some difficulty
- 3 - can perform the task independently and without difficulty
The PEDI-CAT, on the other hand, is a revised version of PEDI that utilizes item response theory. It is administered via computer or tablet and the initial set of answers determines the subsequent questions to identify the child's functional abilities with as few questions as possible.[3]
Scoring[edit | edit source]
The method of scoring is essentially the same for both versions: raw scores are converted into standard scores based on age and gender. However, due to the adaptive testing algorithm of PEDI-CAT, it can provide real-time scoring and graphic profile of the child's functional abilities.
