Sammendrag
Summary: The Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) is a standardized
procedure for assessing childrens’ abilities, developed in the USA. It is widely used in
child rehabilitation, also in Norway. A representative sample of Norwegian children in
ten age groups is compared to the original American standardizing sample. On a large
number of points, Norwegian and American children were shown to be different. In the
assessment of Norwegian children, therefore, they should be compared to the Norwegian
sample, not to the American norms for the PEDI test.
