Measuring Child Development with ASQ®

ASQ® is commonly used by pediatricians and is supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics for the developmental screening of young children’s skills. Evidence shows that the earlier development is assessed, the greater the chance that children will reach their potential. The questionnaires explore a variety of areas, from communication and motor skills to social-emotional development and more, and they are updated regularly to track progress.

ASQ®-3

ASQ®-3 helps teachers and families provide more personalized support to every child by looking at the development of skills in children from age two months to 55 months across communication, fine motor, gross motor, personal-social and problem-solving skills.

ASQ®:SE-2

Balanced Learning® goes beyond academics to a child’s social and emotional development. ASQ®:SE-2 helps teachers get an even clearer picture of a child’s development so they can offer more personalized support.

One of the greatest strengths of ASQ® is the collaboration it offers between teachers and families. This leads to more accurate results, which can then help teachers better meet the individual needs of their students through personalized support. These developmental screenings are completed every fall by parents to monitor a child’s progress, and teachers adjust their support as needed to help ensure children are set up for success beyond preschool. During spring teachers will finish the school year by giving the screeners to each student. This will help guide and support parents with a clearer understanding of their child’s development through the school year.
