Can ASQ-3 detect signs or behaviors associated with Sensory Processing Disorder?
The ASQ developers have not specifically looked at detection of sensory problems using ASQ-3.

For the overall question about hearing loss on the ASQ-3, does a family history mean immediate family members as well as extended family members?
For the overall question Does either parent have a family history of childhood deafness or hearing impairment?, the term family history refers to both immediate and extended family members. At the least, the grandparents of the child's parent should be included because there is a genetic component to some types of he…
Why can questionnaires not be emailed to parents for completion?

Are there guidelines for implementing ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 for visually impaired children?
If a child has a visual impairment, a program may not need to use ASQ-3. If the child is receiving services related to the visual impairment, their development is probably being monitored regularly already (perhaps even with yearly, more in-depth assessments than ASQ-3). If you do want to use ASQ-3 with the child, it…

The ASQ calculator app provides adjusted age calculations for children born up to 13 weeks premature. Because it does not provide options over 13 weeks premature, does this mean these tools are not valid and reliable for infants born at 14 weeks premature or earlier?
ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 can be used with infants born more than 13 weeks premature. When the iOS version of the calculator app was developed several years ago, infants that survived when born more than 13 weeks premature were rare. We plan to update the iOS app in the future but do not have a timeline at this point. The …
For questions that need to be answered verbally by the child (for example in the Problem Solving area), would not yet be the appropriate answer for a 2.5 year-old that doesn't speak yet?
