Description
|
New and veteran users will learn how to maximize their use of ASQ. Seminars typically feature
- an introduction to developmental screening, including screening lingo, the legal mandates, and the benefits of developmental screening
- the ins and outs of using ASQ, from administering the questionnaires, tracking results, and scoring the questionnaires, to communicating screening results to families and considering the options for following up after questionnaires have been scored
- the role of parents in the ASQ screening process, including the validity of parent report and factors that affect parents’ responses so that participants can ensure that they obtain the most reliable information possible from parents
- specifics on how to interpret ASQ scores and how to make referral decisions based on those scores
- any implementation issues your program identifies in advance of the seminar date
Speakers supplement their instruction with extended case studies and video clips of interventionists using ASQ on a home visit to show how the system is administered and tracked. They offer role-plays and hands-on activities that give participants experience using ASQ before going out in the field to work with families.
