  • Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3) Training

    Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3) Training


    April 23, 2024

    The Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) provides reliable, accurate, developmental and social-emotional screening for children between birth and age 6. The ASQ has been specifically designed to identify developmental progress and spot potential delays in young children. Screening young children is an effective, efficient way for professionals to monitor a child’s development. Help parents celebrate their child’s milestones, know what to expect next, and determine whether a follow-up is needed. The ASQ is an essential first step toward identifying children with delays or disorders in the critical early years.

    In this training, you will learn about the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3), how to use it in your program, and how to support families with this tool.

    *Prerequisite training: Using the CDC’s Learn the Signs. Act Early.
