ASQ Screening & 
Developmental Resources  

Children aged six weeks to 60 months who participate in the School Readiness (SR) program receive ASQ Screening. The age-appropriate developmental screening can help providers work with parents to understand the results and act early if necessary, ensuring that every child receives the support they need to flourish.

ASQ Screening

Ages and Stages Questionnaires®, 3rd Edition (ASQ-3) 

We offer ASQ-3 developmental screening to identify delays in a child’s development. Simple to complete questionnaires are given to the child’s parent/guardian at new enrollment and redetermination that cover a wide range of skill areas including:

  • Communication – addresses vocalizing, listening, and understanding
  • Gross Motor – focuses on arm, body, and leg movements
  • Fine Motor – focuses on hand and finger movements
  • Problem Solving – addresses learning and playing with toys
  • Personal-Social – focuses on social play and self-help skills

Behavioral Screening

Ages and Stages Questionnaires® Social-Emotional, 2nd Edition (ASQ:SE-2)

A key area in a child’s development is regulating their emotions and managing their social interactions. The ASQ: SE-2 is a screening tool designed to identify children whose social-emotional development may require further evaluation.

An ASQ: SE-2 can also be completed at new enrollment and redetermination when the parent has expressed a concern. Simple to complete questionnaires are given to the child’s parent/guardian that address behaviors such as:

  • Self-Regulation - ability to adjust to the environment
  • Compliance - the ability to follow the rules and directions
  • Affect - the ability to demonstrate one's feelings
  • Interaction with people – ability to respond appropriately in social situations.
