Why choose

?

ASQ

has been adopted by thousands of users—early interventionists, pediatricians, public health nurses, home visitors, child welfare workers, Head Start teachers, child care centers, and more—in all 50 states and countries around the world. Here’s how ASQ helps them give young children the best possible start in life: Sharon Gee, home visiting program supervisor, Niagara Falls, New York:

“ASQ allows our staff to catch delays quickly . . . [and] in many cases helps us catch children up before they start kindergarten. This aids their self-esteem and their future success in school.”

Beth Baillargeon, early intervention and education coordinator for Early Head Start, California:

“ASQ makes follow-up for children who need early intervention services easy because the information comes from the parent. It is not the ‘professional expert’ who is evaluating the child; it is the true expert—the parent!”

Suzanne Berman, M.D., FAAP, pediatrician, Crossville, Tennessee:

“ASQ addresses language and social functioning more specifically than other tools we have used, making it ideal for autism screening in our rural, heavily Medicaid pediatric practice.”

Pamela Forni, child care center director, Corpus Christi, Texas:

“ASQ is a quality assessment tool that we could afford. It is extremely cost effective.”

Meg Buonforte, early childhood program director, Salt Lake City, Utah:

“As a parent educator, I love being able to sit down with a tool that virtually any family that comes to us can easily understand . . . I’ve looked at many assessments. None of them compare with the ASQ for ease of training parent educators.”

Hold your baby in your lap and softly shake a rattle on one side of his head, then the other side. Shake slowly at first, then faster.

Your baby will search for the noise with his eyes.

Gently rub your baby with a soft cloth, a paper towel, or nylon. Talk about how things feel (soft, rough, slippery).

Lotion feels good, too.

Say “hi” and wave when entering a room with your baby.

Encourage your baby to imitate. Help your baby wave to greet others.

Encourage your child to try the “elephant walk,” bending forward at the waist and letting your arms (hands clasped together) swing freely while taking slow and heavy steps.

This is great to do with music.

While cooking or eating dinner, play the “more or less” game with your child. Ask who has more potatoes and who has less. Try this using same-size glasses or cups, filled with juice or milk.

Encourage your child to learn her full name, address, and telephone number. Make it into a singing or rhyming game for fun. Ask your child to repeat it back to you when you are riding in the car or on the bus.

ith this in-depth, easy-to-use tool, your program can reliably assess and monitor social-emotional development in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers at risk for delays or challenges. An ideal followup to screeners such as ASQ:SE, the SEAM™ assessment reveals detailed qualitative information on children’s social-emotional competence— and identifies caregivers’ strengths and areas of need.

SEAM™ helps your program: CD-ROM

EBOOK

AVAILABLE

AT A GLANCE • Developers: Jane Squires, Ph.D., Diane Bricker, Ph.D., Misti Waddell, M.S., Kristin Funk, M.A., LCSW, Jantina Clifford, Ph.D., & Robert Hoselton • Domains assessed: Social-emotional development and parenting strengths and needs • Age range: 2–66 months (Infant: 2–18 months; Toddler: 18–36 months; Preschool: 36–66 months) • Who conducts it: Early interventionists, early childhood teachers, Head Start and Early Head Start professionals, home visitors, parent educators • Where it’s conducted: In early education programs, day care centers, homes, or other settings where children are served • Languages available: English and Spanish (both on the included CD-ROM)

• ensure early identification of social-emotional difficulties and behavior disorders • build strong, proactive partnerships with families • promote positive parent–child interactions in the critical first years of life • assist with developing developmentally appropriate goals and intervention activities • monitor child progress toward social-emotional goals SEAM™ is a two-part assessment:

SEAM™ Tool. The main SEAM™ includes three intervals with different developmental ranges: Infant (2–18 months), Toddler (18–36 months), and Preschool (36–66 months). Each interval assesses 10 child benchmarks critical to social-emotional competence, including empathy, adaptive skills, self-image, emotional responses, and healthy interactions with others. The SEAM™ system also includes SEAM™ with Ages, an alternate version of the tool annotated with a helpful list of age ranges for each item. This version makes it easy to give caregivers general guidance on how socialemotional skills typically develop and where their child’s development fits on the continuum.

SEAM™ Family Profile. The Family Profile assesses parent/caregiver strengths and helps identify areas in which they need more supports to foster their child’s social-emotional skills. Like the SEAM™, the Family Profile assessment includes three intervals—Infant, Toddler, and Preschool. Each interval measures four benchmarks: responding to needs, providing activities and play, providing predictable routines and an appropriate environment, and ensuring home safety.

helps your program

1. Efficient, highly sensitive assessment You’ll assess goals and objectives across developmental areas while observing children and their caregivers engaging in everyday activities. The AEPS® Test provides a thorough picture of a child’s development, showing delays and progress that many tests miss so you can consistently connect children with effective instruction. And the convenient group assessments in AEPSi™ let you complete the entire test for up to 6 children at a time during just a few routine activities—a big time-saver!

2. Better IFSP/IEP goal development AEPS® makes it so easy to improve your IFSPs and IEPs. Using assessment results as a guide, pinpoint areas in which the child needs intervention and select them as IFSP/IEP goals and objectives. AEPS® includes a helpful list of sample goals and objectives to use as a model for writing meaningful IFSPs and IEPs. (And if you use the EasyIEP system, goals and objectives from AEPSi™ can even be transferred to your EasyIEP account.)

3. The right interventions at your fingertips The clearly linked test and curricula make it simple to choose interventions that help children meet IFSP/IEP goals and objectives. AEPS® curricular content is embedded in the online AEPSi™ system, so finding exactly the right interventions is a snap.

Just a few clicks take you right to the strategies and teaching suggestions you need!

4. The best progress monitoring available The AEPS® Test is a highly effective way to monitor child progress over time, whether you use it for ongoing monitoring or for beginning and end of year evaluations. Because AEPS® picks up very small increments of progress, it’s an unparalleled system for tracking the growth and development of all children.

SCREENING & ASSESSMENT

How

helps your program

1. Better assessments through the power of play.

During a fun and naturalistic play session, professionals assess development in 4 key areas while the child plays with family members and a team play facilitator.

Because children stay relaxed and engaged, TPBA2 elicits more meaningful and accurate results than many traditional assessment strategies. It focuses on strengths, assessing what children can do instead of what they can’t. And it gets parents involved, so they learn more about their child’s development and how to encourage progress.

2. Positive, playful interventions that improve real-world skills.

After the play session results are reviewed, it’s easy to link TPBA2’s assessment data to individualized, playbased intervention activities. Unlike more traditional intervention approaches, TPBI2 shows you how to partner with parents to tailor a unique program of activities that work with their child’s strengths, interests, and learning processes. Interventions fit right into the family’s daily routines, so children learn new skills in familiar settings and generalize them successfully.

3. Affordable and convenient staff training.

Get the Observing Kassandra DVD for your staff, and they’ll have a convenient, cost-effective way to practice their skills in a simulated TPBA2 session with a preschooler. The DVD package includes everything you need for training: a 50-minute DVD of Kassandra’s recorded play session, a tablet of blank TPBA2 forms, a CD-ROM with sample completed forms, and a helpful training workbook.
