Review
"We've been using ASQ with high-risk families, including children in foster care ... [it's] popular with both the families and the pediatric providers. ASQ has helped us pick up many children with delays, mainly because it is an efficient way of reaching hard-to-reach families who otherwise don't receive systematic developmental screening."

Product Description
This is the complete ASQ System with questionnaires in English. The Ages & Stages Questionnaires[registered] (ASQ) system is a low-cost, reliable way to screen infants and young children for developmental delays during the crucial first 5 years of life. Parents complete the simple, illustrated 30-item questionnaires at designated intervals, assessing children in their natural environments to ensure valid results. Each questionnaire can be completed in just 10-15 minutes and covers five key developmental areas: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social. Professionals convert parents' responses of yes, sometimes, and not yet - in just 2-3 minutes - to color-coded scoring sheets, enabling them to quickly determine a child's progress in each developmental area.
