For many years pediatricians have carried out both informal and systematic assessments of behavior in children, with the early motor assessments of Ilg and Ames perhaps being the most well-known. Levine et al (p 341) have responded to the need for a structured assessment of more complex behavioral functions of the school age child with the PEER (Pediatric Examination of Educational Readiness). This instrument will no doubt be welcomed for several reasons: it is brief, systematic, covers a wide range of functions, and fits readily into the pediatrician9s repertoire. One can only applaud this effort to provide a systematic, quantitative framework for assessing functions of critical importance to child adaptation and development.
