I think the following sentence in the introduction, "Both tests differ from other common developmental screening tests in that the examiner directly tests the child" could be improved by listing the two tests you are referring to when you say 'both tests' and after you write 'other common developmental screening tests' you could put (e.g. ) with a few common test names. Otherwise article is detailed and well organized.
 The article needed a lead, so I went ahead and added the basics. It could use the addition of a sentence about who can administer the test, very generally how it is done, and the context it is used in. It should be written in a style that is brief and easily understood by the layman.
The final 'Conclusion' paragraph is a problem. This is a title for a scientific paper rather than an encyclopaedia, and the fact that it is unreferenced suggests that it is your opinion, or synthesis; and the final sentence is WP:CRYSTAL. I would suggest that the first two sentences be moved to either the lead or the DDST section - they provide good context that will help the layman understand the article. The rest can either be deleted, moved into the previous section, or renamed something like "Comparison with other developmental screening tests", although that is largely what "Studies in Practice" is about (if I understand it correctly - this is not subject matter I could claim to know anything about).
Other than that it looks good to me. It does need wikilinks as we discussed on your talk page. I came across Positive and negative predictive values which will help explain one term that readers may not be familiar with.--Derek Andrews (talk) 15:03, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Derek, I don't think the program has saved the links in red at the bottom.  Otherwise I think I've done what you suggested.  I think your edits improved the article, so thanks for them.  Anything further?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter Dawson MD MPH (talk • contribs) 21:54, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The red links mean that you tried adding them to a category that does not yet exist. You would have to click on the redlink, create that page then add it to a higher level category. For the time being I have added three categories that seem to apply; they contain similar articles such as Developmental-Behavioral Screening and Surveillance, Bayley Scales of Infant Development and Baroda Development Screening Test. Some of those categories are quite full and could use subcategories being added, but I don't have the inclination to get into that right now - I would rather leave it to someone with a better understanding of the field who can more easily find the right groupings of articles and most appropriate category names. This article still does need wikilinks making to other articles; I will try and get back to that later if you need help. Thanks. Good work, and I hope you will continue contributing to Wikipedia. 16:35, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
