The HEADSS Adolescent Risk Profile is a psychosocial assessment screening tool
l
which assesses home, education, activities, drugs, sex, and suicide for the purpose
of identifying high-risk adolescents and the need for anticipatory guidance. It is
used to identify high-risk, not low-risk, adolescents. Physical development is
assessed with anthropometric data. Sexual development is assessed using physical
examination.

The expected stage of development for a preschooler (3 to 4 years old) is
preoperational. Concrete operational describes the thinking of a school-age child (7
to 11 years old). Formal operational describes the thinking of an individual after
about 11 years of age. Sensorimotor describes the earliest pattern of thinking from
birth to 2 years old.

The Denver II is the most commonly used measure of developmental status used by
health care professionals; it is a screening tool. Screening tools do not provide a
tia
diagnosis. Diagnosis requires a thorough neurodevelopment history and physical
l
examination. Developmental delay, which is suggested by screening, is a symptom,
not a diagnosis. The need for any therapy would be identified with a comprehensive
evaluation, not a screening tool. Some providers use the Denver II as a framework
for teaching about expected development, but this is not the primary purpose of the
tool.
