We have found that ASQ:SE-2 does not pick up attachment issues that we can see are a concern for our clients. Can you recommend another checklist or questionnaire that picks up on attachment issues and would facilitate a conversation with parents about attachment issues?
The ASQ developers recommend using the Social-Emotional Assessment Measure (SEAM) . The SEAM Family Profile solicits information related to attachment issues. The tool gets to the heart of whether or not the parent is able to be a "safe haven/secure base" for the child and would definitely facilitate attachment-rela…
If you have given the child a screening and there are concerns, where do you go from there to get help for a child?
Information about interpreting ASQ:SE-2 scores and providing follow-up is provided on pages 96-107 of ASQ:SE-2 User's Guide. If concerns exist, referral to early intervention/early childhood special education or mental health evaluation may be appropriate. The following resources may also be helpful: Interpreting …

Is there research on the validity and reliability of different administration methods of the ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2?
The developers have examined the difference between completing the questionnaires on paper and online and found that the results are equivalent. The research was published in Infants & Young Children . Questionnaire administration via telephone has not been examined by a research study. However, a lot of data coll…
What does the following statement from the Photocopying and Use Guidelines mean? This restriction is not meant to apply to reimbursement of usual and customary charges for developmental screening when performed with other evaluation and management services.
The Photocopying and Use Guidelines does not allow a program to charge parents for completion of the questionniares, except for the exact cost to print the questionnaires from the CD-ROM or photocopy the questionnaires. However, a program may charge insurance. Reimbursement of usual and customary charges for developm…
I would prefer ASQ-3 Learning Activities that can be used with both boys and girls. For example, one of the activities in Gross Motor 0-2 months says, "...while your baby is on his tummy, lie beside him..." What if I am giving this activity to the parents of a girl? Do you have an option that uses "him or her"?
In ASQ-3 Learning Activities, the genders are alternated in the activities with the goal of enhancing ease of use; professionals do not need to choose between female & male versions of the sheets. We know that using gender pronouns causes difficulty in some instances so we have decided to use the gender-neutral si…

Who completes ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires?
Parents or caregivers complete ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires independently, or, if necessary, with the assistance of a staff member. Caregivers and teachers who spend 15–20 hours per week with a child may also complete ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires.
I’d like to share the data I’ve collected with ASQ:SE-2 with the authors to help further their research and the development of future editions. How do I do that?
The authors of the ASQ:SE-2 are always pleased to receive blind data. Please email [email protected] with your data and complete contact information, which will be shared only with the authors and not used by Brookes Publishing or any other party.
Can the PDF files of the ASQ questionnaires be downloaded on multiple workstations at our clinic? Is there a limit per the license?
As long as a location owns an ASQ CD-ROM, the PDF files are able to be saved on as many computers as you'd like at that physical location. There is no limit. The files can also be uploaded to a server accessible to people at that site (but not a server that is accessible by people across multiple physical locations).
