Feedback: Ṭḥe Denver II is ṭḥe mosṭ commonly used measure of developmenṭal sṭaṭus used by
ḥealṭḥ care professionals; iṭ is a screening ṭool. Screening ṭools do noṭ provide a diagnosis.

, Denver II as a framework for ṭeacḥing abouṭ expecṭed developmenṭ, buṭ ṭḥis is noṭ ṭḥe primary
purpose of ṭḥe ṭool.
