Ages and Stages Questionnaire, Third Edition (ASQ-3)
You are invited to complete an ASQ-3 online developmental screening. This screening tool will provide a quick check of your child’s development. The information you supply will reveal your child’s strengths, uncover any areas of concern, and determine if there are community resources or services that may be useful for your child or your family.
A FEW TIPS
Section 1: The first section of ASQ-3 includes five developmental areas. Each area has six questions that go from easier to more difficult skills. Your child may be able to do some but not all of the items. Read each question and mark-
Yes if your child is performing the skill
Sometimes if your child is performing the skill but doesn’t yet do it consistently
Not yet if your child does not perform the skill yet
Here is a brief description of the five developmental areas screened with ASQ-3:
Communication: Your child’s language skills, both what your child understands and what he or she can say
Gross motor: How your child uses his or hers arms and legs and other large muscles for sitting, crawling, walking, running, and other activities
Fine motor: Your child’s hand and finger movement and coordination
Problem solving: How your child plays with toys and solves problems
Personal-social: Your child’s self-help skills and interactions with others
Section 2: The Overall section asks important questions about your child’s development and any concerns you may have about your child’s development. Answer questions by marking yes or no, and if indicated, please explain your response.
AFTER COMPLETION: Your responses will be reviewed by a team member. All information will be kept confidential. If there appears to be a concern regarding your child’s development, a team member will contact you. Any questions can be directed to the Early Childhood Department at 309-736-1111.
