SCREENING AND DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES
Developmental Screenings
Assessing children’s development and monitoring their milestones is critical for ensuring children are school ready! Developmental screenings can help families and providers identify areas where children shine and areas that may require additional attention.
The Coalition's Developmental Screening team is here to guide you with your developmental screening process (ASQ-3 and ASQ-SE 2) for each child in your program twice a year, along with tools for communicating results to families. We believe identifying developmental needs early gives each child the best chance for school readiness. Your focus on developmental screening is important.
The School Readiness program requires that all children receiving School Readiness funds be screened for their growth and development. All developmental screenings are completed online via the ASQ Online module of the Family Portal.

Ages and Stages Questionnaires®, 3rd Edition (ASQ-3)
The Coalition offers ASQ-3 developmental screenings for children, two-months to five-years of age, to as a check-in on each child’s development. Simple to complete questionnaires are given to the child’s parent/guardian every six months that cover a wide range of skill areas including:
- Communication – addresses vocalizing, listening and understanding
- Gross Motor – focuses on arm, body and leg movements
- Fine Motor – focuses on hand and finger movements
- Problem Solving – addresses learning and playing with toys
- Personal-Social – focuses on social play and self-help skills
Ages and Stages Questionnaires® Social-Emotional, 2nd Edition (ASQ-SE2)
An important area in a child’s development is the ability to regulate their emotions and manage their social interactions. The ASQ-SE2 is a screening tool designed to identify children three-months through 66-months of age whose social-emotional development may require additional help.
The ASQ-SE2 is completed when a concern has been expressed by either the parent or the child care provider. Simple to complete questionnaires are given to the child’s parent/guardian that address behaviors such as:
- Self-Regulation - ability to adjust to the environment
- Compliance - ability to follow rules and directions
- Affect - ability to demonstrate own feelings
- Interaction with people – ability to respond appropriately in social situations
