Following to Midline, Past Midline and 180 degrees all were passed by Jordyn.

Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to be a nurse serving children and families of all cultures and backgrounds.

This site is designed to allow the viewer to have a glimpse of what I have been able to accomplish in my studies to become a well rounded nurse.

The DDST is a group of tests given to children in order to view a brief look at their current development, identifying areas in which the child has strengths or weakness (Denver developmental materials,, 2002).

The tests developed were standardized using over 2000 children and includes norms that are specified for subgroups within the population (Denver developmental materials,, 2002).

The DDST is a wonderful way to be able to see where a child measures in the norms of other children on the developmental scale.

DDST Screening On March 27, 2011 a beautiful little girl by the name of Jordyn was tested using the DDST.

On August 15, 2010 Cassandra gave birth to Jordyn at Paradise Valley Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona.

Her age calculation according to the Denver II guidelines is seven months and twelve days old.

She was not born prematurely; therefore no adjustments to the calculations are necessary.

Shown below is the age calculation: Year Month Day Date of Test: (2011 1) 2010 (3 12) 15 27 Date of Birth: -2010 -8 -15 Age of child: 0 7 12 When performing the Denver II Screening on Jordyn, she was extremely pleasant and happy baby.

Going over the Personal Social section of the testing Jordyn passed every test until she attempted Play Pat A Cake.

She also smiles spontaneously without being touched, sounds being made, or without someone else smiling first.

Her favorite toy was then placed in front of her, just out of immediate reach.

Upon seeing this she reached out for the doll, attempting to grab the doll and bring it into her.

When crackers are placed in front of her Jordyn immediately grabs them and starts to eat the food.

Her mother stated that this milestone was accomplished just before six months.

During the Play Pat a Cake section she seemed like she wanted to play, however, she did not play or attempt to.

When her mother was asked whether Jordyn played any clapping games, it was reported that she does not.

Next was the Indicate Wants test, this one Jordyn indicates what she wants but it is through crying that it is known she wants something.

When leaving after spending the afternoon with Jordyn and Cassandra upon waving to Jordyn and saying bye bye she just smiled and got giddy but no attempt to wave was made.

Having three consecutive failures in a section we moved to testing Jordyn in the Fine Motor Adaptive section.
