Features: Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs) and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) are the core and central components of the United States' 1975 "Education for All Handicapped Children Act," dedicated to ensuring that all children with disabilities receive appropriate education, training, and services. The Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, Second Edition (PDMS-2) and its accompanying training programs are specifically designed for IFSPs or IEPs and are now widely used in the United States and have a broad impact worldwide. The PDMS-2 was developed by U.S. experts in developmental assessment and intervention therapy and is an excellent assessment tool for the motor development of infants and young children. The scale consists of six subtests, including reflexes, posture, locomotion, object manipulation, grasping, and visual-motor integration, with a total of 249 items. The test results are ultimately expressed as developmental quotients (DQs) for gross motor, fine motor, and total motor development. As a specialized motor development scale, it has unique advantages in the selection of assessment items, the operability and ease of the method, and the clarity of scoring criteria. This book is the first volume of the series, primarily introducing the characteristics of the scale, the methods of administration and scoring, the interpretation of test results, and providing normative data, reliability, and validity information for the scale. It provides detailed explanations of the administration methods and scoring criteria for each assessment item. Each item is accompanied by illustrative diagrams of the administration methods.
