    The document discusses the administration and results of the Metro Manila Developmental Screening Test (MMDST) on a toddler. It explains that the MMDST screens a child's development milestones and is not an intelligence or diagnostic test. It also describes the importance of considering the child's age when administering test items and interpreting results. The results of the test on the toddler were interpreted as "normal" as the child was able to perform tasks that most children of that age can do. The document reflects on the experience of administering the test and how it can help identify developmental delays.

    MMDST : LEARNING FEEDBACK

    It is important to know that MMDST is a screening test not an intelligence test, or


    a diagnostic test and it is not a predictor of the future adaptive or intellectual ability.
    Considering the child’s age which is crucial and it is the initial step in the test administration,
    and the test items which is dependent on the age of the child. The child’s age is significant in
    order to identify the items to be assessed and to give the exact and appropriate interpretation.
    The main goal of this test is to screen it the developmental milestone of the child is
    appropriately developed for his/her age, to know the capability of the child at his/her age and to
    know how the personal-social, fine motor adaptive, language and gross motor develops. As a
    student nurse, we must conduct appropriately the test items according to the child’s age,
    observe a child’s actual developmental stage and interpret the results correctly, educate the
    parents of the child about the stage where the child belongs, and to let them understand and
    give proper care to their child. Explain to the parents or guardian, that the child is not expected
    to pass all the items. The test will only show what the child can do at certain age.
    In obtaining our test results, we used the Metro Manila Developmental Screening
    Test (MMDST) kit and its contents in performing the test such as plays interactive games,
    Removes Garments ,washes hands and dries hands(Personal- social), Imitates bridge , imitates
    vertical line ,Towers 2 Cubes, Towers 4 cubes, Dumps cheese curls from bottle Spontaneously,
    Dumps cheese curls from bottle demonstrated (Fine- motor), names picture, follows directions,
    uses plurals (language), Kicks Ball, throwing ball overhead, balane one foot, jumps in place,
    pedals tricycle and broad jump (Gross motor). Based on the results, we interpreted it as
    “normal” for the reason that he has no delays for his development and it is not abnormal
    because he was still able to perform other tasks that most children can perform near his age
    range.
    For me the test that we had was a bit challenging since the toddler that we have
    chosen to test is very shy and we have to make and extra effort for him to cooperate however I
    can say that it was a good experience for me and I can say that I learned something from it
    because it helps me widen more my understanding to every children`s behaviour and at same
    time thought me to be more patient in dealing with pediatric clients that I might be dealing with
    in the future. I realized that this test can make a big impact on a child`s life because its main
    purpose is to measure and to evaluate the developmental delays manifested by the child, and to
    give assessment according to the scored items and results of the four aspects of development as
    performed by the child. This would allow us to correct, modify, or lessen the severity of any
    identified developmental delays.
