What is ASQ?
ASQ is a set of questionnaires about children’s development, and is a part of OUSD’s ECE departments commitment to quality through QRIS. It has been used for more than 20 years to make sure children are developing well. It is called a screener because it looks at how children are doing in important areas, such as speech, physical ability, social skills, and problem-solving skills. ASQ can help identify your child’s strengths as well as any areas where your child may need support.
Parents or caregivers are the best source of information about their child. That’s why ASQ questionnaires are designed to be filled out by them, taking roughly 10-15 minutes per questionnaire (two total). It’s that quick and easy.
Here's How ASQ Works:
Here's How ASQ Works:
Parents or caregivers will answer each question “yes,” “sometimes,” or “not yet,” based on what their child is able to do now. Answers help show the child’s strengths and areas where he or she may need practice.
To answer each question, parents or caregivers can try fun and simple activities with their child. These activities encourage the child to play, move around, and practice day-to-day skills.
If the child is developing without concerns, there is nothing more to do. If the child has trouble with some skills, discuss next steps with your teaching team. Finding delays or problems as early as possible supports young children’s healthy development.
