Kindergarten Readiness (ASQ)

Estimated Time to Complete: 10-15 minutes

Section 1. The first section of the ASQ-3 looks at five developmental areas. Each area has six questions that go from easier to more difficult. Your child may be able to do some, but not all of the items. Read each question and mark:

• Yes your child is performing the skill
• Sometimes your child is performing the skill, or
• Not yet, which tells us your child is not yet performing the skill.

 Following is a brief description of the five developmental areas:

• Communication: Looks at language skills, both what he or she understands and can say
• Gross motor: Looks at large muscles, how your child uses his or her arms and legs, and movements and coordination
• Fine motor: Looks at your child’s hand and finger movement and coordination
• Problem solving: Looks at how your child plays with toys and solves problems
• Personal-social: Looks at your child’s self-help skills and interactions with others.

 Section 2. The Overall section asks important questions about your child’s development and any concerns you may have about your child’s development. Answer questions

Estimated Time to Complete: 10-15 minutes

Tips for completing ASQ:SE-2:

• Caregivers who know the child well and spend more than 15-20 hours per week with the child should complete ASQ:SE-2.
• Answer based on what you know about your child's behavior.
• Answer questions based on your child's usual behavior, not behavior when your child is sick, very tired, or hungry.

 Directions for completing ASQ:SE-2:

1. Please read each question carefully and check the response that best describes your child's behavior:

• Often or always: My child performs this behavior often or always.
• Sometimes: My child sometimes performs this behavior (not consistently).
• Rarely or never: My child rarely performs this behavior or has never performed the behavior.

2. Concerns: Check the circle to the right of a question if the behavior is a concern.
3. Some questions have blank spaces for you to provide examples of your child's behavior. Please be sure to explain your response(s).
4. The Overall section at the end of the questionnaire asks open-ended questions about your child's behaviors. Answer questions by marking yes or no and provide an explanation for your responses.
