PEABODY DEVELOPMENTAL MOTOR SCALES

Target

Measure motor skill development, separating gross and fine motor skills. The information obtained
allows the identification of skill delays and treatment planning.

Population

Children from 0 to 83 months (7 years).

Areas evaluated

Gross Motor Skills


- Reflections
- BALANCE
- NON LOCOMOTOR
- LOCOMOTION
- RECEPTION AND PROPULSION

It consists of 170 items divided into 17 age levels with 10 items in each level.

Fine Motor Skills


- Grasping
- USE OF HANDS
- EYE-HAND coordination
- MANUAL DEXTERITY/SKILL

It contains 12 items with 6 or 8 items in each of the 16 age levels.

Data Collection

Before completing the evaluation form, the chronological age of the child should be obtained. This
is obtained by subtracting the date of birth from the evaluation date. The age in months is then
calculated.

Year Month Day


Evaluation date
Date of birth
Chronological Age
Age in months

Then the levels of gross and fine motor skills are placed according to the age obtained in months.
The skills begin to be evaluated according to the evaluation instructions.
The score of the answersranges from 0 to 2:

0 No succeeds
1 Lo partially succeeds
2 Lo achieves

Responses are recorded on the Skill Categories worksheets.

Take the corresponding level. Evaluate the previous levels until finding the one where the score is
mostly 2 (i.e., the child masters the skills assessed). This level will be the BASE.
The level where most of the scores are 0 is HEAVEN. (If the child's corresponding level has many
2's, higher levels can still be evaluated, in which case the child would exceed the expected
parameters for the age).

Data Analysis

1. Find the interval in which the "sky" and the "base" are located and write it down in the
"Summary" box.

2. Add the columns of the skill categories including from the accumulated maximum of the
level before the base, up to the accumulated maximum of the sky.

3. Pass the data to the Gross-Motor Scale and Fine-Motor Scale table in the Raw Score column
and sum the column to obtain the Total Score.

4. Find in the table on page 139 to 155 according to the chronological age the percentage
corresponding to each skill and to the total score.

5. In the table on page 135 look for the DMQ Developmental Motor Quotients that correspond
to each percentage.

6. Find in the table on page 138 the interval containing the Total Score of each scale (GM and
FM) and locate the age in months. Move this age to the Summary table in the Age Equivalent
row. Then, average both results and enter them in the Mean Motor Age Equivalent. Mean
Motor Age Equivalent indicates the average age established by the test.

7. Scoring Chart:
For the Cumulative Basal Score column add the basal level skills including the cumulative
maximum of the previous level.
For the Sum Through Ceiling Age column, the scored skills (except basal level and accumulated
maximums) are summed.
Add the row of each skill to obtain the Raw Score.

8. Motor Developmental Profile graph:


Pass what is recorded in the Developmental Motor Quotient column as a point, in each of the
skills, taking into account that the DMQs are shown at the top of the graph.

Then, join the points with straight lines.

The gray area corresponds to what are considered the expected skills for chronological age;
therefore, points to the left of the gray area are skills not achieved and points to the right of the
gray area indicate that they exceed the expected parameter.

This graph allows us to analyze gross and fine motor skills separately from each other, and at the
same time, to examine each skill in particular.
