ASQ-3 Ages & Stages Questionnaires
ASQ-3 is a set of questionnaires about children’s development. It has been used for more than 20 years to make sure children are developing well. It is called a screener because it looks at how children are doing in important areas, such as speech, physical ability, social skills, and problem-solving skills. ASQ-3 can help identify your child’s strengths as well as any areas where your child may need support. As a parent or caregiver, you are the best source of information about your child. That is why ASQ-3 questionnaires are designed to include parent input. The questionnaire only takes 10-15 minutes. It’s quick and easy. Here’s how ASQ-3 works: If your child is developing without concerns, there is nothing more you will need to do. The next questionnaire in the series for your child’s age will be completed by your education professionals in the spring of this year. If your child has trouble with some skills, your program will help you with next steps. Finding delays or problems as early as possible supports young children’s healthy development. You are an active partner in your child’s learning and development. By completing ASQ-3 questionnaires, you are making sure your child is off to the best possible start!
- During open house, we will have a sign-up sheet for you or other caregiver to bring your child in for a conference before the preschool year begins. This is optional. This is the only time fall assessments will be completed at the center. If you prefer to complete the questionnaire at home, we will be happy to provide you with the question form and list of materials needed. If you can not attend open house but would like to schedule an appointment for the ASQ, please give us a call and we will set a time.
- Questions will be answered “yes,” “sometimes,” or “not yet,” based on what your child is able to do now. Answers help show your child’s strengths and areas where he or she may need practice.
- To answer each question, it is sometimes fun to present simple activities with your child. These activities encourage your child to play, move around, and practice day-to-day skills.
- After the questionnaire is complete, we will plot the answers and share the results with you.
