The Ages & Stages Questionnaires[registered] (ASQ) system is a low-cost, reliable way to screen infants and young children for developmental delays during the crucial first 5 years of life. Parents complete the simple, illustrated 30-item questionnaires at designated intervals, assessing children in their natural environments to ensure valid results. Each questionnaire can be completed in just 10-15 minutes and covers five key developmental areas: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social. Professionals convert parents' responses of yes, sometimes, and not yet - in just 2-3 minutes - to color-coded scoring sheets, enabling them to quickly determine a child's progress in each developmental area. "The ASQ User's Guide" then offers clear guidelines for determining whether children are at high or low risk in the various domains.
