b. Will indicate whether the child has a speech disorder so that treatment can begin.
c. Is a screening instrument designed to detect children who are slow in development.

ANS: C
The Denver II is a screening instrument designed to detect developmental delays in infants and preschoolers. It tests four functions: gross motor, language, fine motor-adaptive, and personal-social. The Denver II is not an intelligence test; it does not predict current or future intellectual ability. It is not diagnostic; it does not suggest treatment regimens.
