Seminar Description
The speakers introduce Ages & Stages Questionnaires®: Social-Emotional (ASQ:SE) and show participants how to use this low-cost, reliable new tool to identify children 6–60 months old who are at risk for social or emotional difficulties.
This seminar typically encompasses
- an introduction to assessment
- the ins and outs of using ASQ:SE, from setting up a tickler system, administering the questionnaires, tracking results, and scoring the questionnaires, to communicating results to families and considering the options for following up after questionnaires have been scored
- the role of parents in the ASQ:SE assessment process, including the validity of parent reporting and factors that affect parents’ responses so that participants can ensure that they obtain the most reliable information possible
- specifics on how to interpret ASQ:SE scores and how to make referral and intervention decisions based on those scores
- any implementation issues programs identify in advance of the seminar date
Speakers supplement their instruction with extended case studies, and they offer role-plays and hands-on activities that give participants experience using ASQ:SE before going out in the field to work with families.
Following this seminar, participants will be able to
- administer and score ASQ:SE
- interpret ASQ:SE findings and communicate the results with families
- identify warning signs of social and emotional difficulties
- identify resources for age-appropriate intervention strategies and activities to enhance social-emotional development
- describe the process for referring children at-risk for social and emotional difficulties to appropriate agencies

Bonus: Combine this seminar with instruction in ASQ-3 so that participants will be prepared to screen young children for developmental delays as well. “Train the trainer” sessions are also available for participants interested in instructing others to use ASQ: SE.
