  1. Pediatric Functional Independent Measure for Children (WeeFIM)

    Time frame: 12 Months

    The Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM®) is frequently used as a multiple tool in pediatric clinics to assess the self-care, mobility, and psychological well-being of many groups of children, including those with developmental or developmental disabilities.

    The Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM) is an 18-item, seven-level ordinal scale instrument used to assess a child's typical and consistent performance.Children 0 to <3 years no WeeFIM (or FIM) is required. Children 3 to <12
