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 an Ages & Stages Questionnaires ASQ-3, and the ASQ-SE-2 online screenings to help you keep track of your child's development. You will be asked to answer questions about some things your child can and cannot do. The questionnaire includes questions about your child's communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal social skills.
To participate in this screening, please access the following URL by following link or scan the QR code. Make sure you click the 1st option to take both tests! (This test may be easier to have your child with you for some of the tasks):

Please fill out by September 11, 2026
