The Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ)

The Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) is a screening tool used by parents and professionals to monitor a child's developmental progress. It involves answering brief questions about the child's abilities in areas like communication, movement, social skills, and problem-solving. The goal is to identify any developmental delays early, so children can get the support they need to thrive. The questionnaire is easy to complete, typically taking a few minutes, and is suitable for children from infancy to age six. It helps ensure children develop important skills on time, supporting their overall growth and well-being.
