Objectives: Movement is a continuous aspect of life and an important factor to achieve the goals and meet the needs. Regarding the importance of infantś motor assessment and the large number of children with motor disorders, a valid and reliable test is required to help evaluation of motor development and provide appropriate interventions by therapists and educators. This study was implemented in order to investigate the validity and reliability of PDMS in 0–24 months infants in Tehran. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted through descriptive-analytic procedures, 110 infants were selected using randomized cluster sampling regarding the inclusion criteria. Results: There was no significant difference between the male and female on mean motor age and motor development quotient(p<0.05) However, significant correlation between total mean motor age and motor developmental quotient was observed (p<0.05) Conclusion: Results of the study indicated that PDMS is a valid and reliable tool to enhance quality of assessment, diagnose and proper intervention for movement disorders in early childhood.

Objectives: Key Words: Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (PDMS), Motor development, Motor DevelopmentQuotient (MDQ) Introduction The most important and significant aspect of children development during the first two years of life is mastery of sensorimotor control over their environment (1).
After explaining the examination and having parents’ consent, the infants were tested on the items of 0- 24 months old in Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (PDMS).
78 GMDQ: Gross Motor Development Quotient FMDQ: Fine Motor Development Quotient TMA: Total Motor Age indicate the validity and reliability of PDMS in 0-2 years old infants in an acceptable level.
2 7 his study on 3-6 months old infants and indicated the The findings of Pearson correlation show that there is significant correlation between Total Motor Age (TMA) with Gross Motor Development Quotient (GMDQ) and also Fine Motor Development Quotient (FMDQ) as noted in table 3.
