The Peabody Mobility Kit for Infants and Toddlers (PMKIT) is a systematic program to assist young, multi-handicapped, visually impaired children in developing functional movement skills. PMKIT is valuable for professionals and parents in teaching motor, cognitive and sensory skills. Designed in simple, easy-to-follow formats. The PMKIT was fully tested in a comprehensive research study with severely and profoundly handicapped, visually-impaired infants and toddlers.

The PMKIT covers:

• Cognitive Skills
• Motor Skills
• Movement and Touch Skills
• Sound Localization Skills.

For each skill section, the kit provides both the assessment and training. Illustrated step-by-step assessment scales and instruction programs show what the instructor does and says, and what the child is expected to do. Training, based on the assessment information, may be conducted by a professional or parent.

The PMKIT Manual provides complete information on the most effective use of the assessment and training materials. Record forms are provided for both the assessment and training, in each of the four skill sections.

The PMKIT contains the Manual and the Reproducible Masters of the Record Forms, and permission to reproduce.
