Denver Developmental Screening Test II (DDST-II) William K. Frankenburg & Josiah B. Dodds Type: Developmental screening, 1 month - 6 years What is the purpose of this tool?

To screen children from 1 month to 6 years of age for possible developmental problems, to confirm suspected problems with an objective measure, to monitor children at risk for developmental problems. What is its appropriate use? First-level screening of children's developmental status. What are the components?

Performance-based and parent report items are used to screen children's development in four areas of functioning: fine motor-adaptive, gross motor, personal-social, and language skills. Child's exact age is calculated and marked on the score sheet. Scorer administers selected items based on where the age line intersects each functional area. The scorer can then determine if child's responses fall into or outside of the normal expected range of success on that item for the child's age. The number of items upon which the child scores below the expected age range determine whether the child is classified as within normal range, suspect, or delayed.

Those with suspect scores are monitored by more frequent screening, while those with delayed scores are referred for further assessment. There is also a testing behavior observation filled out by the test administrator. Spanish version is available. Who can administer the scale? Trained paraprofessionals and professionals administer the test. Is training available? The test comes with a training video and proficiency test.

Scorers should pass the proficiency test and practice testing children of different ages. A two-day workshop is offered in Denver to become a Master Instructor, who can then train others. Cost of the Master Instructor workshop is $395. The training video and item administration videos come as a training kit for $255. Contact the publisher for details. How long does it take to administer? Testing takes 10 to 20 minutes, on average.
