DENVER II
DENVER II is a widely used developmental screening tool designed to identify children who have developmental problems. The tool is used by healthcare professionals to monitor the development of children between birth and six years of age. The DENVER II test is a revision of the original Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST).
Overview[edit | edit source]
The DENVER II test is a series of 125 items divided into four domains: Personal-Social, Fine Motor-Adaptive, Language, and Gross Motor. Each item on the test is a task that the child is asked to perform. The tasks are arranged in the order of increasing difficulty. The test is designed to be administered in a playful, non-threatening manner.
Use[edit | edit source]
The DENVER II is used to identify children who may be at risk for developmental problems so that they can be referred for further evaluation and intervention. The test is not intended to diagnose specific conditions or to provide a detailed assessment of a child's development. Instead, it provides a quick and easy way to screen for potential problems.
Limitations[edit | edit source]
While the DENVER II is a valuable tool for identifying children who may be at risk for developmental problems, it is not without its limitations. The test is not a diagnostic tool and cannot be used to diagnose specific conditions. Additionally, the test may not be sensitive enough to detect subtle developmental problems.
