Developmental Screening Tools...
Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ)
The Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) is a trusted developmental screening tool used to help understand how young children are growing and developing from birth through early childhood.
This tool is completed by parents or caregivers and looks at key areas such as communication, movement, problem-solving, and social skills. It helps identify strengths while also catching potential delays early, when support can make the biggest difference.
Research shows that early screening tools like ASQ are reliable and effective in identifying children who may need additional support, helping connect families to resources sooner and improving long-term outcomes.
Why this matters
Early childhood development happens quickly, and some delays are not obvious right away. In fact, many children who need support are not identified until they enter school without tools like ASQ.
Using screening tools helps:
Catch concerns early
Support families with clear next steps
Connect children to services when needed
