During regular home visits or upon parent request, children are screened for hearing, vision, language, dental, nutrition, motor, intellectual, and social development. These screenings help parent's identify potential concerns before they become an obstacle to a child's development. In some cases, families may be referred to resources for additional screenings and/or services.
ASQ-3 (Ages and Stages Questionnaire)
Parents as Teachers offer developmental screenings for children 0 - 3 years of age. The ASQ-3 screenings are available from 4 to 36 months where developmental concerns might be present. This ASQ-3 relies on parents knowledge of their child's skills, it is easy to administer, family-friendly, and highlights any strengths or concerns parents may have about their child.
