Review

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

(Rachel J. Valleley and Brandy M. Roane, The 18th Mental Measurement Yearbook 2011-05-11)

"The most important aspects of ASQ-3 [are] the new cutoff scores and encouraging monitoring of children to promote early intervention." (Jo Ann Waggoner, RN Community Health Nurse Supervisor, Healthy Start, Maryland 2012-08-02)

"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!" (Linda Schumacher, M.Ed. The Institute for Education and Professional Development, Worcester, Massachusetts 2012-08-02)

"Allows both parents and professionals to keep better overall track of children's development." (Michele Bishop Family Futures, Grand Rapids, Michigan 2012-08-02)

"[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." (Impact NW Healthy Start~Healthy Families program, Oregon 2012-09-14)

"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."
