Developmental Screening - ASQs
Developmental Screening - Waterford School District Families
Introduction
Waterford School District families have access to free ASQ-3 questionnaires online. These
questionnaires help families with awareness of their child’s strengths and weaknesses within key developmental areas. Research indicates that early intervention increases the chance a child has to reach his/her potential so please do the questionnaire for your child today.
The ASQ®-3 identifies developmental progress in children between the ages of one month to 5 ½ years.
- Parents are typically able to complete it in 10–15 minutes
- A quick way to check your child’s development
- Areas screened: Communication, Gross Motor, Fine Motor, Problem Solving, Personal-social
The ASQ:SE-2 focuses on social-emotional development.
- Parents are typically able to complete it in 10–15 minutes
- A quick way to check your child’s development
