No, ASQ-3 is not a curriculum-based assessment. A curriculum-based assessment is an observation and recording of a child's performance on a given curriculum as a basis for gathering information to make instructional decisions. ASQ-3 does not measure skills or progress related to a specific curriculum. If you are looking for a curriculum-based assessment, we encourage you to learn about the Assessment, Evaluation, and Programming System for Infants and Children (AEPS) at www.aepsinteractive.com. This linked assessment and curriculum was developed by the same developer as the ASQ screening tools.
