Are you wondering what is normal and what is abnormal in the development of your 0-6 year old child? You can observe differences compared to their peers in speaking, holding fork and spoon while eating, following the given instructions, running and many other behaviors. Because these behaviors are not behaviors that happen when the day comes. They are performed over time.
How can we tell if there is a developmental problem? Here is where the Denver II Developmental Screening Test helps you determine which developmental stages your child has fallen behind.
It measures the following 4 topics in children:
-Personal -Social Area: Communicating with people, meeting their own needs. For example, a 13-month-old child imitating housework or a 2.5-year-old child washing their hands
-Fine Motor Skills: Hand-eye coordination, using objects. For example, a 7-month-old child's ability to reach for an object in front of him or a 4-year-old child's ability to see and copy the circle
-Low Motor Skills: The ability to sit, walk, jump and generally move.
-Language: Hearing, understanding, ability to use language.
The Denver II test helps to detect if your child has a developmental delay in these four areas compared to their peers. It also informs the areas that need support. This test can help prevent a progressive developmental problem by applying it at regular intervals, not to reveal a problem directly.
This important point should also be emphasized. Such problems are usually understood when school life begins. It can be determined that there is a retardation in meeting the needs of children in the same environment with their peers, in their speech and movements, by comparing them to those around them. A developmental delay that can be recovered until that age can contribute to the earlier understanding of the Denver II Developmental Screening Test.
