Description
Everything you need to start screening children with ASQ-3, the Starter Kit includes 21 photocopiable print masters of the questionnaires and scoring sheets, a CD-ROM with printable PDF questionnaires, the ASQ-3 User's Guide, and a FREE ASQ-3 Quick Start Guide.
The Starter Kit is part of ASQ-3 (TM), the bestselling screener trusted for more than 15 years to pinpoint delays as early as possible during the crucial first 5 years of life. ASQ-3 questionnaires are reliable and valid, parent-completed, cost effective, recommended by top organizations, and easy to administer and score. The 21 age-appropriate questionnaires effectively screen five key developmental areas: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social.
Learn more about the complete ASQ-3 system, and discover ASQ:SE, the screener that reliably identifies young children at risk for social or emotional difficulties.
Proven accurate by new research: ASQ-3 is highly reliable and valid with excellent sensitivity (.86) and specificity (.85). It allows for fast and easy scoring, as 2-3 minutes is all it takes to score the questionnaires. The 'anytime' scoring permits accurate child-screening from 1-66 months of age. The ASQ-3 also educates families, and parents will love how ASQ-3 helps them learn about their child's development and skills. A one-time purchase, a single site can photocopy or print questionnaires as needed.

Reviews / Votes
The most important aspects of ASQ-3 [are] the new cutoff scores and encouraging monitoring of children to promote early intervention." - Jo Ann Waggoner, Community Health Nurse Supervisor, Healthy Start, Maryland"Defining the near cutoff area on the summary page is a great addition to ASQ-3! No more 'second-guessing' about a child's results!" - Linda Schumacher, The Institute for Education and Professional Development, Worcester, Massachusetts
