Reviews
Review by: Deneta Sells, Intown Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, P.C.
"We hand out the ASQ-3 Learning Activities at all of our well child checks . . . [They] provide fun activities that help parents teach problem solving and fine and gross motor skills that are often missing from their everyday interactions, usually using materials they already have at home!"
Review by: Mindy Craig, ABCD Project Coordinator, Colorado
"The new activity sheets are great! They allow the provider and family to really focus on what the child needs. I love the blank space at the bottom to write a quick reminder note . . . it will be great for follow-up instructions that are so frequently forgotten."
Review by: Deborah Gallagher, Early Head Start Director, Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center, Inc.
"A wonderful resource . . . parents will have concrete activities to complete weekly in all domains to enhance their child's developmental skills."
Review by: Daniel Stowe, Inclusion Specialist, Redlands Christian Migrant Association

Review by: Lizzie Sexton, Community Outreach Coordinator, Children's Service Society of Wisconsin
"A boon to our outreach programs. We have been especially satisfied using the activities with families as a part of our concerning ASQ result follow-up. It serves as a great general parent education tool as well."
