A Parent-Completed, Child-Monitoring System, Second Edition

by Diane Bricker, Ph.D., & Jane Squires, Ph.D., with assistance from Linda Mounts, M.A., LaWanda Potter, M.S., Robert Nickel, M.D., Elizabeth Twombly, M.S., and Jane Farrell, M.S.

The Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ)™ system is a low-cost, reliable way to screen infants and young children for developmental delays during the crucial first 5 years of life.

Parents complete the simple, illustrated 30-item questionnaires at designated intervals, assessing children in their natural environments to ensure valid results. Each questionnaire can be completed in just 10-15 minutes and covers five key developmental areas: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social.

Professionals convert parents' responses of yes, sometimes, and not yet — in just 2-3 minutes — to color-coded scoring sheets, enabling them to quickly determine a child's progress in each developmental area. The ASQ™ User's Guide then offers clear guidelines for determining whether children are at high or low risk in the various domains.

ASQ™ keeps costs down by providing photocopiable forms (see photocopying release) that can be mailed to parents. Or, the questionnaires can be completed by parents during home visits — there's a helpful video that demonstrates the process. And questionnaires are also available in Spanish, French, and Korean for professionals who work with families that speak those languages. It's a flexible, culturally sensitive, and economical way to track the developmental progress of young children.

Eight new questionnaires, added to this edition as a result of user feedback, extend the age-range of the system and help to create a more authentic means of measuring the rapidly developing skills of young children.
