Created in response to feedback for the popular Ages & Stages Questionnaires®, the ASQ:SE gives users what they’ve been asking for: an easy-to-use tool with a deep, exclusive focus on children’s social and emotional behavior
and all the advantages of ASQ — it’s cost-effective, parent-completed,
photocopiable, and culturally sensitive. Field-tested by professionals
with thousands of families and enriched by their feedback, this
research-validated screening system helps home visitors, educators,
caregivers, and service providers assess children’s social-emotional
development at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60 months. With the
results, professionals can quickly recognize young children at risk for social or emotional difficulties, identify behaviors of concern to caregivers, and identify any need for further assessment.

The ASQ:SE system includes
- 8 questionnaires and corresponding scoring sheets (on CD-ROM and paper—now included in both
formats in every ASQ:SE box!). Parents complete the short, simple
questionnaires at eight designated intervals: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36,
48, and 60 months. Set up like the ASQ-3, these questionnaires prompt
parents to answer 22–36 questions with most of the time, sometimes, and rarely or never.
Each questionnaire takes just 10–15 minutes for parents to complete and
addresses seven crucial behavioral areas: self-regulation, compliance,
communication, adaptive functioning, autonomy, affect, and interaction
with people.
For every questionnaire, there’s an
easy-to-use form that allows professionals to score the test in 1-3
minutes and determine the child’s progress in that social-emotional
area. The reproducible scoring sheets all include referral
considerations that help determine if the child needs further
evaluation.
- The ASQ:SE User’s Guide.
Clear and comprehensive, the User’s Guide walks professionals
step-by-step through the process of setting up and running ASQ:SE. The
User’s Guide provides instructions on administering the questionnaires
with sensitivity to children’s environmental, cultural, and
social-emotional differences, detailed technical data on how the system
was developed and tested, helpful case examples, and creative
activities and lists of social-emotional behaviors professionals can
share with parents for use with each age group. Spanish translations of
letters to parents and selected forms are also included.
The ASQ:SE Starter Kit includes 8 color-coded, reproducible questionnaires, now on CD-ROM and paper for use at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60 months of age; 8 reproducible scoring sheets—1 for each questionnaire; and the User’s Guide.
