Ideal for early interventionists, home visitors, pediatricians, teachers, and other early childhood practitioners, this DVD is a critical professional development tool no ASQ-3 user should be without.
The Scoring and Referral DVD is 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. 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.
