 The Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) was developed
to provide a comprehensive clinical assessment of key functional
capabilities and performance in children between the ages of six
months and seven years.
The PEDI was designed primarily for the functional evaluation of
young children, however, it can also be used for the evaluation
of older children if their functional abilities fall below that
expected of seven-year-old children without disabilities.
The assessment was designed to serve as a descriptive measure of
the child's current functional performance, as well as a method
for tracking change across time. The PEDI measures both capability
and performance of functional activities in three content domains:
1) self-care, 2) mobility, and 3) social function.
