Screening with ASQ-3™ FAQ’s
-
The ASQ®-3 screener is a tool designed to help you understand how your child is developing. It is made up of thirty questions that are reliable, age-appropriate, and easy to fill out. You are the true expert on your child, so you are the one who will be answering the questions.
-
Knowing your child's development is important because it can help identify potential developmental delays early on. Early intervention for developmental delays can significantly improve outcomes for children, and parents play a crucial role in monitoring their child's development and seeking help if necessary.
-
The Ages and Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition (ASQ-3) is a standardized tool that is specifically designed to screen for developmental delays in young children. The ASQ-3 is a comprehensive, objective, and parent-involved tool that can identify potential developmental delays early on, making it a more effective tool than milestone questions asked during a well-child visit.

The ASQ-3 takes a deeper dive than what is generally asked at well-child checks. You will gain insight of your child’s performance in the following areas:
Communication: This checks your child's language skills, what they can understand and what they can say.
Gross Motor: This checks how your child uses their arms, legs, and other large muscles for sitting, crawling, walking, running, and other activities.
Fine Motor: This checks your child's hand and finger movements and coordination.
Problem Solving: This checks how your child plays with toys and solves problems.
Personal-Social: This checks your child's self-help skills and how they interact with others.
The "Overall" section asks you open-ended questions about your child's development and allows you to share any concerns you may have.
