Online Screening Tool – Your Quick Guide to ASQ Screening
Online Screening Tool – Your Quick Guide to ASQ Screening (Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQs)
If you’re like most parents, you probably have a lot of questions when a doctor or teacher says your child will be screened with ASQ. You know your child better than anyone else, and the thought of “scoring” what they can and can’t do might make you feel apprehensive—angry, even. You might wonder how a questionnaire can accurately capture all your child’s skills, and if screening might lead to a label or diagnosis. And as a busy, concerned parent, you might have practical questions too, like how long is this going to take? and what happens next? Check out this website to find out more about the screening and the expectations for your child!
