Denver Developmental Chart
"Robyn Kozierok" wrote: I believe the test is well-respected and widely-used. It was normed on 2000 Colorado children, apparently representative of the population of Colorado at the time. However, when looking at the chart yourself, it may not be clear that some of the items refer to very specific tasks, using a specific set of materials and it would not be obvious how to assess them without the training manual's description. That a given child can or can't do something that sounds like an item on the chart is not necessarily a useful piece of information. Some items in particular are vague. "Put on clothing" is listed, while later "dress with no help is". Therefore, the degree to which on can do the former requires a bit of definition. If anyone is aware of where the training manual's description can be seen, please send it along. btw, the presence of the chart on the web is probably a copyright violation. Could be, I can't say if the site that I linked had permission or not. Thx. P. Tierney |

If anyone is aware of where the training manual's description can be seen, please send it along. I have the training manual in my office as I use the Denver quite often in my work. There are quite extensive descriptions for each question and the physical materials (bell, baby doll, etc) are standardized. I can look up the clothing question for you and let you know. Another (and I feel more accurate in terms of charting development) developmental chart is the Ages and Stages Questionnaire. They look at things like communication, social skills, problem solving, etc and are done through parental report and activities performed by the child. They are conducted at 2 month increments starting in the 4th month. I can get you more info if you're interested. Kim R. |

That would be of interest, thanks. Is the manual something that is easily accessible (such as a bookstore or website), or is it something that one only within the profession is likely to have?

Please drop me a mail about the ASQ when you get the chance. No hurry. Thanks. P. Tierney |
