"Allows both parents and professionals to keep better overall track of children's development."

Linda Schumacher, The Institute for Education and Professional Development, Worcester, Massachusetts

"Defining the near cutoff area on the summary page is a great addition to ASQ-3! No more 'second-guessing' about a child's results!"

Jo Ann Waggoner, Community Health Nurse Supervisor, Healthy Start, Maryland

"The most important aspects of ASQ-3 [are] the new cutoff scores and encouraging monitoring of children to promote early intervention."

Daniel Stowe, Inclusion Specialist, Redlands Christian Migrant Association

"An excellent first screening tool for our population . . . It is a functional tool for our classroom staff, as it is easy to individualize for children by age and domain."

: Rachel J. Valleley and Brandy M. Roane, The 18th Mental Measurement Yearbook

"The ASQ-3 system is an empirically sound screening and monitoring system for the early detection of developmental delays in infants and children."
