Record your observations which include-
 A complete evaluation of history of
developmental milestones.
 Developmental examination.
 Compare your observations to the normal
range of milestones for each age.
 Factors that interfere with exact
interpretation of developmental
assessment are-
• prematurity,
• birth weight,
• head circumference,
• physical illness,
• emotional and
• cultural factors
 Always follow up in a borderline or a
doubtful case.
 Developmental surveillance is defined
as a flexible, longitudinal, continuous
process through which potential risk
factors for developmental and
behavioral disorders can be
identified.
Five components :
•Eliciting and attending to the parents
concerns about their child’s development,
• Documenting and maintaining a
developmental history,
• Making accurate observations of the child.
•Identifying risk and protective factors.
• Maintaining an accurate record of
documentation of the surveillance process
and findings.

years.
 Consists of 125 tasks, or items. Includes
four areas:
1. Gross Motor
2. Fine Motor
3. Language
4. Personal –Social
. The following scores are used for the Denver II:
1. “P” for pass
2. “F” for Fail
3. “N.O” for No Opportunity-
4. “R” for Refusal
 Developed by Dr. Berry Brazelton for
assessing newborn behaviour between
the age of 3 days to 4 weeks old.
 The scale produces a total of 47 scores,
27 are behavioral related and 20 are
reflexes.
 Organized in 6 categories:
 Habituation: length of time it takes a
neonate to reduce response.
 Orientation : time taken to focus and
respond to auditory and visual stimuli.
 Motor Maturity : degree of control of
motor activities and coordination.
 Variation: amount of changes in color,
activity when alert and at peak of
excitement during testing.
 Self quieting Abilities: consoling self
when upset.
 Social Behaviour: Smiling and cuddling
response to caregiver.
 (BSID) measure the mental and motor
development and test the behavior of
infants from 1- 42 months of age.
 It evaluates three domains:
 cognitive,
 motor, and
 behavioral.
 Two additional tests may or may not be
administered. They include:
The Social-Emotional Scale
The Adaptive Behavior Scale
 It contained three components—
MDI,
Psychomotor Developmental Index (PDI),
Infant Behavior Record.
 It was introduced in 1967 to evaluate
clarity of pronunciation of young children,
up to age six.
 It evaluate four domains :
• Personal-social,
• fine motor and adaptive,
• language and
• gross motor.
 It was developed by Dr. Kathryn Barnard.
 Currently 4 standardized scales are
available –
• Nursing child assessment sleep/ activity
(NCASA)
• Nursing Child assessment feeding scale
(NCAFS)
• Nursing child assessment teaching
scale(NCATS)
• Home observation for measurement of
environment(HOME)

 During the 1 year, development is
assessed every week,
 every 2 weeks till 2 years and
 every 6 months till 5 years of age.
 Scale gives development quotient (DQ) for
each area separately and it also gives
overall DQ.
 It was developed by Dr. Promila phatak

 5 minutes test .
 It assess the problem solving ability.
 The common tests used to assess
intelligence are-
 Standford Binet test (for 2 year onwards)
 Wechsler intelligence scale for children.
 Ravens progressive matrix
 In 1905 two French psychologist binet
and simen discover this intelligence test &
was modified by American psychologist
Termon with Binet at Standford
university.
 In 1986 it is known as Standford binet
intelligence test form.
 It can useful for 2- 45 year. It was only
effective only to 16 year.

The Matrices are available in three
different forms
 Standard Progressive Matrices:
It has five sets (A to E) of 12 items each
(e.g., A1 through A12), with items within a
set becoming increasingly complex.
 Colored Progressive Matrices
This test has sets A and B ,with a further
set of 12 items inserted between the two,
as set Ab. presented on a coloured
background, the last few items in set B are
presented as black-on-white
 Advanced Progressive Matrices
It contains 60 items, presented as one set
of 24 (set I), and another of 36 (set II).
Items are again presented in black ink on
a white background, and become
increasingly complex as progress
 Their primary responsibility is to organize
and manage the health assessment
process as well as the caregivers
administering assessments.
 Evaluate child’s achievement of expected
developmental level.
 Provide education to client about expected
age-related changes and age-specific
growth and development
 Compare child’s development to expected
age and report any deviations.
 They may also provide training to younger
nurses that lack experience with
assessments.
 Provide education and support .
 The period of growth and development
extends throughout the life cycle; however,
the period in which the principle change
occurs is from conception to the end of
adolescence .Growth and development
are continous. Development means that
children of all abilities.
Research Statement: Preschool Developmental Screening with Denver
II Test in Semi-Urban Areas
Author : Eratay, Emine; Bayoglu, Birgül; Anlar, Banu
Purpose :To assess the feasibility and reliability of
screening semi-urban preschool children with Denver II,
developmental and neurological status was examined in relation with
one-year outcome.
Methodology : Denver II developmental screening test was
applied to 583 children who visited family physicians or other health
centers in a province of Turkey. Children with abnormal and suspect
results were evaluated by neurological examination, Development
Profile-3 (DP-3), repeat Denver II or Wechsler Intelligence Scales for
Children-Revised (WISC-R) depending on the age of the child, and
teacher's perception of school performance and behavior within one
year of the first screening. Relationships were investigated between
the initial
Denver II screening test results and neurological
examination findings, neurological risk factors, DP-3,
repeat Denver II test results for children < 6 years old,
WISC-R results for children > 6 years old; domains of
failure in the first and second Denver II tests; and data
obtained from families and teachers regarding school
performance, behavior and attention. No intervention but
routine schooling was given.
Results : DP-3 results were average or above (4/6) or
low average (2/6) in the abnormal Denver II group and
average (9/12) or below average (3/12) in the suspect
Denver II group (p: n.s.), both different from the "normal
Denver II" sample who rated average or above.
 Children with abnormal and suspect Denver II results
had similar rates of abnormality or neurological risk
factor in their histories. They were more likely to score
"under average classroom level" compared to a children
attending the same schools who had normal initial
Denver II. WISC-R results were average or below
average in children with abnormal initial screening with
Denver II, and average or above in those with suspect
Denver II.
 Conclusions: In this population with high mobility, more
than half (56%) of the target population could be
reached for follow-up. Suspect or abnormal initial
screening results persisted after 1 year but a small group
(2/12 and 2/6 respectively) improved to normal, possibly
due to "catching-up", adverse factors being corrected in
the interim period, or just a false-positive initial result.
