These two tests, the PEDI-CAT and the M-FUN, would be extremely useful to have for standardized pediatric tests:
TEST
PEDI-CAT
The Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory Computer Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT) is a clinical assessment for children and youth that can be used across all diagnoses, conditions and settings. It can be completed by parent/caregiver report or professional judgment of clinicians or educators who are familiar with the child and is recommended for use with children approaching 1 year of age and up to 21 years of age. This tool measures function in four domains: (1) Daily Activities; (2) Mobility; (3) Social/Cognitive, and (4) Responsibility. The items were selected based on their relevance for children’s engagement in daily life tasks. This feature of the will enable clinicians to construct a description of a child’s current functional status or progress in acquiring functional skills that are part of everyday life. Typical T-score for age is 50 with a SD of +/-10. T-Scores <50 are-1SD Below the Norm, and T-Scores <30 are -2SD below the norm.
Domain T-Score / Age Pctile
Daily Activities: 00 / 00%
Mobility: 00 / 00%
Social/Cognitive: 00 / 00%
Responsibility: 00 / 00%%
TEST
M-FUN
Miller Function & Participation Scales (M-FUN): is a standardized test that was developed for children ranging in ages from 2 yrs 6 months to 7 years 11 months. The M-FUN includes a performance and a participation component. The performance-based component (norm referenced) includes workbook activities to tap visual-motor abilities and play activities that measure fine and gross motor abilities. The participation based assessment (criterion referenced) includes Observations and Checklists. Typical Scales scores range at 7-13.

Thanks for the suggestion. The PEDI was already on our list, but M-FUN was not; now it is. Please up-vote these to help raise the priority for these tests!
