NMSK II Pediatric Outcome Measures Practice Test

Who can administer the PEDI-CAT?

Clinicians Only Educators Only Clinicians, Educators, or Parent Report Patients Themselves Only

Correct Answer:

Clinicians, Educators, or Parent Report

Explanation:

The PEDI-CAT is designed to be completed by someone who knows the child well across different settings—clinicians, educators, or parents. This flexibility matters because the instrument aims to capture how a child functions in daily life, which requires input from those who observe the child in therapy, at school, and at home. Allowing multiple informants ensures the measure reflects a holistic view of the child’s abilities, not just what one person sees in one setting. Relying on the child themselves isn’t always feasible or reliable for all ages or communication abilities, and limiting administration to only clinicians or only educators would miss important perspectives from family life or school environments.
