Developmental Asessment tools

Clare- Is  the Ruth Griffith Scale like our the Denver Developmental Test
that  we use to assess a child's development from birth through age 5?  The
Denver subdivides milestones into fine motor skills, gross motor skills,
language and social adaptive skills.  Thanks- Kim
