5 Big Challenges ASQ Online Helps Your Program Solve

If your program is still using ASQ paper questionnaires, this is your year to upgrade to ASQ Online—the best way to meet your screening goals and cut down on the complex processes that take time away from helping children and families.

Challenge 1: Difficulty engaging busy families in screening

Families are stressed, pressed for time, and may be wary of the screening process. ASQ Online makes questionnaire completion and family engagement easier than ever. With ASQ Family Access (part of ASQ Online), the families in your program can complete questionnaires electronically anytime and anywhere, on their phone, computer, or tablet. And the parent engagement materials and learning activities in ASQ Online make it easy to communicate and collaborate effectively with families throughout the whole process.

“Most of our parents are digitally minded. Without the online screening option, we would have much fewer parents engaged in our program.”—Kali Ottesen, director of Help Me Grow Utah

Challenge 2: Cumbersome, time-intensive paperwork

The paperwork around any kind of screening system can be a time-sucking headache. With ASQ Online, scoring and reporting are all automated. No photocopying, no reams of paper, no scanning in paper questionnaires or hand-calculating results. You get the data you need right at your fingertips, whenever you need it.

“ASQ Online has allowed me to stay on top of screenings by saving me time and giving me easier access to screening data.”—Emily Dolbeare, assistant director of child development for Scribbles Center for Learning, Inc., in Illinois.

Challenge 3: Mistakes that lead to misleading or incomplete ASQ results

Human error happens: parents may accidentally skip an ASQ question or two, and hand-scoring the questionnaires always leaves room for mistakes. ASQ Online helps ensure that all your questionnaires are fully completed and accurately scored. The online questionnaire interface prevents parents from skipping questions by accident, and automated scoring gives you accurate results you can use to plan the most effective next steps.

[ASQ Online is] one of the best investments we’ve made…Questionnaires are automatically scored and reports can be printed out.”—Renee Dietz, Centennial Early Childhood Program

Challenge 4: Merging a new online system with a program’s current database

When data doesn’t flow easily between two systems, manual data entry eats up significant staff time. With ASQ Online, there’s no need to manually enter ASQ results into your current system. Our application programming interface (API) allows ASQ Online to link up with another database management system, saving you time and allowing you to reach more families.

“We have a broader reach throughout the county now with the efficiencies the API created. For example, we’re comfortable embarking on a countywide public awareness campaign with a link to the online questionnaires, because we can process many more screenings with much less staff time.”—Rebecca Hernandez, M.S.Ed., manager of Help Me Grow in Orange County, CA

Challenge 5: Lack of coordination and data analysis across multiple sites

Multiple affiliated sites might be implementing ASQ successfully—but without integrated data, decision-makers won’t be able to recognize trends and plan for supports. With an ASQ Enterprise account, multiple sites can benefit from a comprehensive data integration system.

Help Me Grow Michigan is just one organization benefiting from ASQ Enterprise. Using 12 ASQ Enterprise accounts, HMG Michigan affiliates were able to create and manage all their child and program data, store child profile records and results, and generate an automated summary and analysis of results. HMG Michigan was able to access detailed, reliable data on children’s development status and trajectory, plus varying levels of data by program, building, age group, community, and countywide.
