3 Understand and record a PEDI-CAT assessment

The PEDI-CAT assessment

A PEDI-CAT assessment helps us understand a child’s ability to complete tasks in their daily life.

We use the PEDI-CAT assessment with children younger than 6. Sometimes, we use PEDI-CAT for children aged 7-16 if there isn’t another tool available.

The difference between a new assessment and manually entered score

You complete a New PEDI-CAT assessment in PACE. You begin by creating a new Functional Capacity Assessment case. PACE will direct you to an external Pearson site. Pearson will automatically populate a score based on answers to the questions.

A Manual PEDI-CAT assessment is one completed outside of Pearson. You will enter the score in PACE. For example, a parent might give you a PEDI-CAT assessment from their child’s doctor.

Note: If you receive a PEDI-CAT assessment score from within the last 3 months, use this to update the manually entered score. If the PEDI-CAT assessment score is from more than 3 months ago, use Pearson to get a new assessment score.

Complete a new PEDI-CAT assessment

To record a New PEDI-CAT assessment, complete the following PACE steps.

From the functional capacity assessment view:

  1. Select Yes to Carry out a new assessment.
  2. Select No to Manually enter scores.
  3. Select PEDICAT or PEDICAT-ASD.
  4. Select Next.
  5. Confirm details are correct.
  6. Select Launch PEDI-CAT to open in Pearson.
  7. Complete online PEDI-CAT assessment.
  8. Once completed, return to PACE and select Check status to refresh.
  9. Select Save for later or Next.
  10. Check confirmation details.
  11. Select Done.

Note: Don’t open a new assessment if you do not intend on completing it that day.

Record a manual PEDI-CAT assessment

To record a manual PEDI-CAT assessment, complete the following PACE steps.

At the Select Tools step in the Functional Capacity Assessment:

  1. Select No to Carry out a new assessment.
  2. Select Yes to Manually enter scores.

  1. Select PEDICAT or PEDICAT ASD.
  2. Select Next.
  3. Enter Assessment completion date.
  4. Enter all Domain Scaled Scores.
    • Add the numerical scores into the domain fields. Note: For children younger than 3 years, record the PEDI-CAT Responsibility Domain as 0. This is because domain scaled scores are not completed for children younger than 3 years old.
  5. Enter all Domain T Scores.
    • When the T score generates and displays as less than 10, record the score as 1 in PACE.
    • When the T score generates greater than or equal to 10, record the exact score in PACE. Note: For children younger than 3 years, record the PEDI-CAT Responsibility Domain as 0. This is because domain T scores are not completed for children younger than 3 years old.
  6. Enter all Domain Age Percentiles. Note: This score will show as either an exact number or a percentile band dependent on version used.
    • If exact score, enter as displayed.
    • When the age percentile generates and displays as less than the 5th percentile, record the score as 1 in PACE.
    • For age percentile 5 to 25, record the lower percentile (5) or the number displayed.
    • For age percentile 25 to 50, record the lower percentile (25).
    • For age percentile 50 to 75, record the lower percentile (50).
    • For age percentile 75 or above, record 75. Note: For children younger than 3 years, record the PEDI-CAT Responsibility Domain as 0. This is because domain age percentiles are not completed for children younger than 3 years old.
  7. Select Next.
  8. Check the Confirmation details. Select Done.
