Users Speak Out: ASQ Online Helps Us…

The Ages & Stages Questionnaires^® are trusted around the world to screen young children and help give them the best start in life. But if you’re involved with the day-to-day of running a developmental screening program, you know how challenging and time-consuming it can be.

Switching from paper questionnaires to the ASQ Online system can help solve some of your biggest screening challenges: endless paperwork, low parent engagement, human error, and data that gets collected but doesn’t help you improve outcomes.

If your program hasn’t made the switch to ASQ Online yet, check out what users have to say about the benefits of web-based data management and questionnaire completion.

ASQ Online users say the system helps them…

Save time and enhance efficiency

ASQ Online streamlines the entire screening workflow by automating everyday tasks like questionnaire selection, age adjustments, and even scoring. By transitioning from a paper-based system to ASQ Online, programs of all sizes have saved time and boosted the efficiency and accuracy of their screening efforts.

“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., Illinois

“ASQ Online allows us to easily run a wide range of reports that would be cumbersome with paper forms.”—Kelly Friedland, a data specialist with Michigan’s Jackson County Intermediate School District

“The easy data entry, available aggregated reports, and scheduling of tasks and screenings make ASQ Online well worth the investment.”—Smokie Brawley, statewide project manager for North Carolina’s Healthy Social Behaviors Project

“I love the simplicity of ASQ Online. It enables us to easily track screening data in one central location.”—Mandy Zeschke, program coordinator for Davis Early Intervention in Utah

“Pediatricians have found that ASQ Online has enhanced office efficiency as provides excellent guidance with respect to underlying developmental concerns.”—Dr. Stephen Wainer, Section Chief of Community Paediatrics, Alberta Child and Family Services

“ASQ Online has streamlined our screening program’s record keeping. When screenings were completed on paper, they needed to be scanned or faxed from across our large coverage area to be uploaded to our database. Now, as soon as the screening is completed, it can be recorded and added to the child’s file.”—Patti Smith, special needs coordinator, Champlain Valley Head Start, Vermont

“The reminders ASQ Online provides help keep us up to date. And we can easily track the progress of children needing referrals.”—Mary Jane Borg, BSN, at Advocate Children’s Hospital in Illinois.

Partner with families

ASQ Online makes it easier to connect and communicate with families and involve them as partners. One major benefit is ASQ Online’s Family Access option, which enables programs to send out ASQ questionnaires for families to complete electronically. When busy families can answer questionnaires on their own schedule, screening rates go up. (See a walkthrough video of questionnaire completion with Family Access!)

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

“Parents frequently express that they enjoy completing the ASQ as it provides reassurance about their child’s development.”—Dr. Stephen Wainer, Section Chief of Community Paediatrics, Alberta Child and Family Services

“With ASQ Online, results are sent directly and confidentially to parents, where they can share with stakeholders in their child’s care electronically.”—Stephanie Babcock, Help Me Grow Care Coordinator for Wayne County, Michigan

“Ultimately, the convenience of ASQ Family Access means more families are getting the results from their trusted pediatricians and therefore more likely to get connected to resources.”—Courtney Gupta, Help Me Grow Care Coordinator, Oakland County, Michigan

Support better outcomes

ASQ Online helps you recognize larger trends in child development and ensure that every child gets the follow-through they deserve. The data you need to make critical decisions is just a few clicks away: you can easily run reports on screening status and analyze results by program, developmental area, interval, and more.

“Thanks to ASQ Online, we can better serve children who need extra developmental support, rather than spending our time screening out ineligible children. And due to the extensive training and having a point person in the agency who serves as the ‘ASQ master’, we are seen as a valuable resource to our partners.”—Jillian Lush, Executive Director, Sprout Family Services, Homer, Alaska

“For our developmental screening of all children coming into foster care, ASQ completion by the foster parent or case worker has significantly enhanced the quality of care provided and heightened case workers awareness of children’s needs.”—Dr. Stephen Wainer, Section Chief of Community Paediatrics, Alberta Child and Family Services

“ASQ Online has helped us more easily share results with families, and we’ve been able to provide more resources to parents to help them support their children’s development.”—Kathy Furse, preschool coordinator and coach in Utah’s Granite School District

“Every ASQ we sent also included ideas for free or low-cost developmental activities that caregivers could work on: ideas on how to play with their children, and in some cases, spend more time playing with little ones than they ever had before.” —Stephanie Babcock, Help Me Grow Care Coordinator for Wayne County, Michigan
