ANS: C w
The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status u
w w w w w w w w w w w w
sed by health care professionals; it is a screening tool. Screening tools do not
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
provide a diagnosis. Diagnosis requires athorough neurodevelopment history
w w w w w w w
wand physical examination. Developmental delay, which is suggested by scre
w w w w w w w w w
ening, is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The need for any therapy wouldbe ident
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
ified with a comprehensive evaluation, not a screening tool. Some providers
w w w w w w w w w w w
use the Denver II as a framework for teaching about expected development,
w w w w w w w w w w w w
but this is not the primary purpose of the tool.
