Metro Manila Development Screening Test

The MMDST is a simple, clinically useful tool used in the early detection of children

with serious developmental delays developed by Dr. Phoebe D. Williams. It is modified as

standardization of the original Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) by Dr. William K.

Frankenburg and his associates (1970) on 6,006 Metro Manila children. It was developed for

health professionals such as nurses, doctors and other health workers so that slow development

may be recognized, referrals made, and appropriate therapy prescribed as soon as possible.

The MMDST is designed to detect developmental delays in children 2 weeks to 6 ½ years

old. It evaluation four aspects of a child's development: personal-social, fine-motor adaptive,

language and gross-motor behavior.
