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 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.
