ASQ^®-3 Questionnaires are the most cost-effective, reliable way to screen young children for developmental delays in the first 5½ years of life. These 21 age-appropriate questionnaires in English (2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 42, 48, 54, and 60 months) effectively screen five key developmental areas: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social.

Fast and easy to use, ASQ-3 Questionnaires take just 10–15 minutes for parents to complete and 2–3 minutes for professionals to score.

First, parents try each activity on the questionnaire with their child, checking the box that best describes what the child can do. Clear questions, illustrations, and tips help parents complete the questionnaires quickly and accurately. Professionals then record the scores, easily converting parent responses to numbers (Yes = 10, Sometimes = 5, Not Yet = 0). They copy the child's scores to a simple grid that gives an at-a-glance picture of current developmental skills:

One or more scores in the grid's dark shaded zone indicate the child may need further assessment.
Scores in the light shaded "monitoring" zone help identify children at risk. Professionals can give parents activities to help their child make progress in these areas before the next screening.
Scores outside the shaded zones mean the child is doing well in these areas.

ASQ-3 Questionnaires are provided as photocopiable master copies on paper and printable PDF master copies on CD-ROM (both in the same box, so programs will always have the format they want right at their fingertips). Download a sample 16 month questionnaire and a sample 48 month questionnaire.

The Questionnaires are part of ASQ-3, the bestselling screener trusted for more than 20 years to pinpoint delays as early as possible during the crucial first 5 years of life. Learn more about the complete ASQ-3 system, and discover ASQ^®:SE-2, the screener that reliably identifies young children at risk for social or emotional difficulties.

Reviews

Nicole Hayes, Family TIES, Illinois

"We use the ASQ-3 questionnaires in our home visit program to help our families recognize where their child is developmentally. It's nice to have something that is developmentally appropriate across the board, recognized by medical staff, and easy to discuss with parents."

Timothy Kelley, Help Me Grow Project Director, Union County Health Department, Ohio

"We have partnered with daycares and doctor's offices in encouraging families to complete the questionnaire, and we have found ASQ-3 to be a great tool for child find, parent education, and helping childcare centers and physician's office know the children they serve better."

: Impact NW Healthy Start~Healthy Families program, Oregon

"[With ASQ-3], staff and parents can better discern if a referral should be made or monitoring is more appropriate . . . an excellent tool in determining if a baby's development is typical or needs intervention."

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."

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!"

Michele Bishop, Family Futures, Grand Rapids, Michigan

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

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."
