AGES & STAGES QUESTIONNAIRES® (ASQ)

How ASQ Works 1. SCREEN Screening is easy with the parent-completed ASQ: • Choose your screener—ASQ-3™ or ASQ:SE • Choose your language—English or Spanish (for other languages, visit www.agesandstages.com) • Choose the right ASQ questionnaire for the child’s age • Give it to the parent—in person, by mail, or through ASQ Family Access (online questionnaire completion—see the next page).

• The parent completes the fun screening in about 10–15 minutes.

Questionnaires are fast and easy for parents to fill out. Clear illustrations help them provide the most accurate responses.

2. SCORE Scoring couldn’t be easier—it takes just 2–3 minutes, whether you do it on paper or through ASQ Online (see the next page to learn more). If the parent did the questionnaire online through ASQ Family Access, their answers go right into the online data management system, which scores the questionnaire and generates easy-to-read results in seconds. A quick review of the summary sheet shows you if any further assessment is needed.

ASQ questionnaires take just seconds to score with ASQ Online’s automated system—see the next page to learn more!

3. SHARE RESULTS Once you’ve reviewed results, share what you learned with the child’s parents. The User’s Guides give you helpful hints on partnering with families and making referrals if needed, and ASQ Online generates customizable letters for communicating results and recommendations. To help parents support their child’s development in key areas, give them the ASQ-3™ Learning Activities (see page 6) and sample activity stickers from www.agesandstages.com.

FREE activity stickers—print them now at www.agesandstages.com and share with parents!

Share ASQ results with parents and decide on next steps together.
