A Parent-Completed, Child-Monitoring System for Social-Emotional Behaviors

By Jane Squires, Ph.D., Diane Bricker, Ph.D., & Elizabeth Twombly, M.S., with assistance from Suzanne Yockelson, Maura Schoen Davis, & Younghee Kim

Created in response to feedback for the popular Ages & Stages Questionnaires®, the ASQ:SE gives users what they’ve been asking for: an easy-to-use tool with a deep, exclusive focus on children’s social and emotional behavior and all the advantages of ASQ — it’s cost-effective, parent-completed, photocopiable, and culturally sensitive. Field-tested by professionals with thousands of families and enriched by their feedback, this research-validated screening system helps home visitors, educators, caregivers, and service providers assess children’s social-emotional development at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60 months. With the results, professionals can quickly recognize young children at risk for social or emotional difficulties, identify behaviors of concern to caregivers, and identify any need for further assessment.

The ASQ:SE system includes

• 8 questionnaires and corresponding scoring sheets (in paper form or on CD-ROM). Parents complete the short, simple questionnaires at eight designated intervals: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60 months. Set up like the ASQ, these questionnaires prompt parents to answer 22–36 questions with most of the time, sometimes, and rarely or never. Each questionnaire takes just 10–15 minutes for parents to complete and addresses seven crucial behavioral areas: self-regulation, compliance, communication, adaptive functioning, autonomy, affect, and interaction with people.
  
  For every questionnaire, there’s an easy-to-use form that allows professionals to score the test in 1-3 minutes and determine the child’s progress in that social-emotional area. The reproducible scoring sheets all include referral considerations that help determine if the child needs further evaluation.
  
  
• The ASQ:SE User’s Guide. Clear and comprehensive, the User’s Guide walks professionals step-by-step through the process of setting up and running the ASQ:SE. The User’s Guide provides instructions on administering the questionnaires with sensitivity to children’s environmental, cultural, and social-emotional differences, detailed technical data on how the system was developed and tested, helpful case examples, and creative activities and lists of social-emotional behaviors professionals can share with parents for use with each age group. Spanish translations of letters to parents and selected forms are also included.
  

The complete ASQ:SE system includes 8 color-coded, reproducible questionnaires for use at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60 months of age; 8 reproducible scoring sheets — 1 for each questionnaire; and the User’s Guide. For those serving families of diverse linguistic backgrounds, the ASQ:SE questionnaires are also available in Spanish.

ASQ:SE CD-ROM. The 8 ASQ:SE questionnaires and scoring sheets, along with the social-emotional behavior development sheets and activity sheets in the User's Guide, can also be purchased on CD-ROM in English or Spanish (the User's Guide is in English only). (Note: Questionnaires, scoring sheets, and activity sheets for the ASQ system can be posted on an internal office network for use by multiple people in one office, or by multiple people in multiple offices with the purchase of a multi-site license. Questionnaires and activity sheets can also be posted on a password-protected website for parents to download and complete before well-child visits.
