Background: Classifying tools used for the pediatric population can expedite the creation of preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies, helping to identify factors influencing this group and enhancing their development.

Objectives: This study aims to present the assessment batteries used in the pediatric population together so that assessors and practitioners can easily examine the batteries and decide which test battery to use.

Method: Seventy questionnaire scales used in pediatric rehabilitation were compiled from the electronic database.

Results: There are many batteries used in the pediatric population. Categorizing these batteries provides significant advantages and convenience for readers. 

Conclusion: In pediatric rehabilitation, various assessment batteries are used to assess the abilities and development of children, and these tools vary according to age groups. Different tools have been determined in areas such as motor, sensory, neuromuscular, cognitive, and family assessments, and each significantly impacts children’s development. By defining reliable assessment methods for each area, it is aimed to develop early intervention and appropriate treatment strategies.
