ASQ-3 developmental screening
ASQ-3 (Ages & Stages Questionnaires) is an internationally recognized developmental screening tool for children aged 1 month to 5 years. It helps determine whether a child's development is appropriate for their age, identify possible developmental concerns at an early stage, and determine whether additional evaluation by a specialist may be needed. The screening assesses communication, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and personal-social development. Early identification of potential developmental concerns allows families to receive timely guidance and provide children with the best opportunities for healthy development.
When should your child have an ASQ-3 developmental screening?
- your child has not yet reached age-appropriate developmental milestones, such as sitting, crawling, walking, or other expected skills
- you are concerned about your child's speech or language development, or they are speaking less than other children of the same age
- your child has difficulty interacting with adults or other children
- you have concerns about your child's gross or fine motor skills
- your child was born prematurely or experienced complications during pregnancy or birth
- your pediatrician has recommended a developmental assessment
- you would like to make sure your child's development is on track, even if you have no specific concerns.
FAQ
How is the ASQ-3 developmental screening performed?
The ASQ-3 developmental screening is conducted in a calm, comfortable environment and does not involve any painful or invasive procedures. The assessment is carried out through play-based activities and interaction with your child, allowing most children to feel relaxed and behave naturally. Parents remain with their child throughout the entire process and, when needed, answer the specialist's questions about their child's development and everyday skills.
During the screening, the specialist evaluates your child's development according to their age, reviews the ASQ-3 questionnaire results, observes behavior and the completion of simple age-appropriate tasks, and discusses with parents any developmental areas that may require additional attention. After the assessment, parents receive a clear explanation of the results, personalized recommendations to support their child's development, and answers to any questions they may have.
If the screening results indicate that further evaluation would be beneficial, the specialist may recommend a consultation with a lead pediatrician, neurologist, psychologist, speech and language therapist, pediatric ophthalmologist, or other specialists. This does not necessarily mean that your child has a medical condition. Additional consultations simply help assess specific areas of development in greater detail and, when appropriate, provide timely support.
