Are there guidelines for implementing ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 for visually impaired children?
If a child has a visual impairment, a program may not need to use ASQ-3. If the child is receiving services related to the visual impairment, their development is probably being monitored regularly already (perhaps even with yearly, more in-depth assessments than ASQ-3). If you do want to use ASQ-3 with the child, it…

How do the ASQ screening tools meet the need for school readiness?
ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 are compatible with the current evidence base on kindergarten readiness.

The ASQ tools start as early as 1 month of age and progress through 72 mon…

The ASQ-3 cutoff scores are set at 2 standard deviations below the mean. The monitoring zone is between 1 and 2 standard deviations below the mean. Table 18 in the technical appendix (page 171 in the User’s Guide or available here ) shows the mean and standard deviations for each ASQ-3 interval. The bell curve is no…
ASQ-3 can be used with children as young as 1 month of age. What is your recommendation for screening newborn infants up to 1 month of age?
If you need to screen newborn infants, you can use the 2 month questionnaire. However, the ASQ developers do not recommend that you refer on the basis of score (i.e., if the child falls below the cutoff). You should wait until the child is 2 months of age and ask parents to complete the 2 month questionnaire again.
Can I email ASQ-3 or ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires to a colleague or a family?
Blank questionnaires may not be emailed to anyone for any reason. However, you may always share a completed questionnaire with a family in the course of your service provision to them. You may share the completed questionnaire using any communication method (e.g., email, mail, in-person) that meets your organization…
I have heard that research shows that parents are good reporters of their child’s development. Can you share more information about this research?
Research has indeed shown that parents—regardless of socioeconomic status, location, or well-being—give accurate information about their child’s development (Rydz et al., 2005; Squires et al., 1998). Parent report is most accurate if questions are straight-forward and ask about their child’s current, observable behav…
Can ASQ-3 be used as 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 look…
