ASQ Screening:
ASQ screening is a way to check each child's development for school readiness. If you or one of your parents are concerned about how their child is progressing from birth to 5 years, we can help. Using the link provided in the letter they can access the ASQ, Ages & Stages Questionnaire, and a trained CDSA staff member review the results and contact parents to go over them. You as the provider can print and send this letter to all your parents or you can do it through email, if that is what works best for you. Contact us at the office if you have any questions and ask for Kim or Rosie.
