As you know, developmental screening is an important component of a well-rounded child assessment system. It is used to document aspects of a child's development, while identifying children who may be at risk for developmental concerns.
The Ages & Stages Developmental Screening system is approved through the DE Office of Early Learning. The training has been revised, and there are now two Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) topics on the DIEEC PD calendar beginning in December 2017:
- Introduction to the Ages & Stages Questionnaires-Developmental Screening Tools (ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2). This 3-hour training will focus on the importance of developmental screening, exploring and using the ASQ tools, translating the results, and understanding how to integrate families into the process.
- Interpreting the ASQ-3 & ASQ:SE-2. This 3-hour training will focus on the interpretation of screening outcomes, communicating sensitive results, and how to navigate the referral process.
Keep in mind, the developmental screening standard (LO1) is an Essential Standard for Star 4 and Star 5 programs when re-verifying or advancing to the next Star level. This standard also requires all screenings resulting from using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE2) to be completed and entered in the ASQ online system to earn credit.
The "Introduction" topic is currently scheduled for December 18th (Dover) and again on January 23rd (Newark). Click
