To further enhance…
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…

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…

Is age adjusted for prematurity when using the ASQ:SE-2, or only for the ASQ-3?
