Glascoe, Frances P.; Borowitz, Kathleen C.

Diagnostique, v13 n2-4 p76-85 Win-Spr-Sum 1988

The Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) and an expressive language measure were administered to 114 children (aged 24 to 74 months) suspected of developmental difficulties. The DDST did not identify the majority of children who failed the expressive language screening, even after cutoff scores were made more rigorous. (Author/JDD)
