Website Spotlight: Ages & Stages Screening Tool

All parents wrestle with endless questions: When should my child say her first word? What should my 2-year-old know? Is my child ready for kindergarten?

Parents can ease these uncertainties by checking that their child’s development is on track with the trusted Ages & Stages Questionnaires®(ASQ®) screening tool. Intended for children younger than 7 years, the questionnaire is now available for free atwww.agesandstagesresearch.com.

Used by thousands of pediatricians and educators internationally for the last three decades, ASQ is now available directly to parents as part of a national research study. After answering questions about what their child can do, parents will receive developmental results, information about any next steps, and activities to help their child grow and learn.
