Description
Ages & Stages Questionnaires: A Parent-Completed Child Monitoring System, Third Edition
ASQ®-3 Questionnaires are the most cost-effective, reliable way to screen young children for developmental delays in the first 5½ years of life. These 21 age-appropriate questionnaires in Chinese (2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 42, 48, 54, and 60 months) effectively screen five key developmental areas: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social.
Fast and easy to use, ASQ-3 Questionnaires take just 10–15 minutes for parents to complete and 2–3 minutes for professionals to score.
First, parents try each activity on the questionnaire with their child, checking the box that best describes what the child can do. Clear questions, illustrations, and tips help parents complete the questionnaires quickly and accurately. Professionals then record the scores, easily converting parent responses to numbers (Yes = 10, Sometimes = 5, Not Yet = 0). They copy the child's scores to a simple grid that gives an at-a-glance picture of current developmental skills:
- One or more scores in the grid's dark shaded zone indicate the child may need further assessment.
- Scores in the light shaded "monitoring" zone help identify children at risk. Professionals can give parents activities to help their child make progress in these areas before the next screening.
- Scores outside the shaded zones mean the child is doing well in these areas.
The ASQ-3 Chinese CD-ROM includes two sets of questionnaires—one with simplified characters and one with traditional characters.
ASQ-3 Chinese Questionnaires are provided as printable PDF master copies on CD-ROM.
The Questionnaires are part of ASQ-3, the bestselling screener trusted for more than 20 years to pinpoint delays as early as possible during the crucial first 5 years of life.
