What is ASQ-3?
ASQ-3 is a low-cost, reliable, parent-completed tool for screening infants and young children for developmental delays during the crucial first 5½ years of life.
ASQ-3 can be used with children as young as 1 month of age. What is your recommendation for screening newborn infants up to 1 month of age?
If you need to screen newborn infants, you can use the 2 month questionnaire. However, the ASQ developers do not recommend that you refer on the basis of score (i.e., if the child falls below the cutoff). You should wait until the child is 2 months of age and ask parents to complete the 2 month questionnaire again.
Can I post ASQ-3 or ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires on my website or my organization’s website?
No, posting ASQ-3 or ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires on any website, password protected or otherwise, is not permitted. However, we permit and encourage linking from your website to the sample questionnaires on our website. Our sample questionnaires may not be posted on any other website.
Are there ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires for a child over 5 years of age?
The ASQ-3 screens children up to 66 months of age. The ASQ:SE-2 screens children up to 72 months of age.
Can ASQ-3 be used as a curriculum-based assessment?
No, ASQ-3 is not a curriculum-based assessment. A curriculum-based assessment is an observation and recording of a child's performance on a given curriculum as a basis for gathering information to make instructional decisions. ASQ-3 does not measure skills or progress related to a specific curriculum. If you are look…
Are there numerical values for the monitoring zone cutoffs on ASQ-3? On one of the age intervals, the gray line indicating the monitoring zone ends halfway in the circle representing 45; does that indicate that the monitoring zone cutoff is 42.5?
The monitoring zone for ASQ-3 is set between 1 and 2 standard deviations below the mean for each domain. Table 18 in the technical appendix ( available online or on page 171 of the ASQ-3 User's Guide) includes standard deviations for each domain of each interval. The numbers in Column 1.0 SD represent the top end of…
When calculating a child's age, what is your month equivalent in weeks? If a child is 44 weeks old, is he 11 months old?
When calculating a child's age, the developers recommend calculating in months and days, rather than weeks. Because all months except for February are longer than 4 weeks, using 4 weeks to represent a month increases a child's age artificially. For easy age calculation, you can use our website calculator or the fre…
What developmental areas does ASQ-3 address?
ASQ-3 addresses five developmental areas: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social.
How do the ASQ screening tools meet the need for school readiness?
ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 are compatible with the current evidence base on kindergarten readiness. "School readiness begins at birth ... everything a child experiences impacts lifelong learning.” (Kindergarten in Kansas parent booklet, 2017, page 3). The ASQ tools start as early as 1 month of age and progress through 72 mon…
