The Denver Developmental Screening Test assesses four domains. Which of the following lists all four domains?

• A. Personal-social, fine motor-adaptive, language, gross motor
• B. Personal-social, cognitive, language, gross motor
• C. Personal-social, fine motor, language, gross motor
• D. Personal-social, fine motor-adaptive, speech, gross motor

Answer: (A)

Four developmental domains are evaluated by the Denver Developmental Screening Test: personal-social, fine motor-adaptive, language, and gross motor. This set is the correct one because the DDST organizes milestones into these four areas, with language capturing communication skills (both expressive and receptive) and fine motor-adaptive covering precise hand skills and self-help tasks. It does not separate a cognitive domain or a standalone speech domain; cognitive aspects are reflected within other domains and speech is included under language. Recalling this four-domain structure helps you identify the correct combination.
