Ages and Stages Questionnaires - SE

Because your child’s first 5 years of life are so important, we want to help you provide the best start for your child. You’ve been invited to participate in the Ages & Stages Questionnaires: Social Emotional (ASQ:SE) to help you keep track of your child’s social and emotional development. The questionnaire may be provided for use at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, or 60 months of age. You will be asked to answer questions about some of your child’s behaviors. The questionnaire includes questions about your child’s ability to calm down, take direction and follow rules, communicate, perform daily activities (e.g., eating, sleeping), act independently, demonstrate feelings, and interact with others.
