How do you use the peabody development motor scale?

Answer:
"The Peabody Development Motor Scales - Second Edition (PDMS-2) is an early childhood motor development program that provides (in one package) both in-depth assessment and training or remediation of gross and fine motor skills. The assessment is composed of six subtests that measure inter-related motor abilities that develop early in life. It is designed to assess the motor skills of children from birth through five years of age. Reliability and validity have been determined empirically. The normative sample consists of 2,003 persons residing in 46 states. The PDMS-2 can be used by occupational therapists, physical therapists, diagnosticians, early intervention specialists, adapted physical education teachers, psychologists, and others who are interested in examining the motor abilities of young children.
Subtests include Reflexes, Stationary, Locomotion, Object Manipulation, Grasping, Visual-Motor Integration. The subtests yield a gross motor quotient, a fine motor quotient, and a total motor quotient."
