Welcome to the ASQ Online System for Kansas!

Header image - children in the classroom

We are pleased to announce an exciting update regarding developmental screening in the state of Kansas. Now, through the All in For Kansas Kids initiative and with funding from the Preschool Development Grant – Renewal, the state of Kansas is providing Statewide access to Ages & Stages Questionnaires® (ASQ) Online through the Kindergarten Readiness Initiative and community access. The Statewide ASQ Online System will make it easier for organizations to improve coordination and reach more families through developmental screening!

The early years of life build a foundation for future learning, health, and success. Children’s early life experiences deeply affect their future physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development. Parents, providers, and communities play a critical role in ensuring children have the supports and resource they need to thrive. By participating in developmental screening, providers of all kinds can check children’s development, address any potential concerns, and connect families to services and supports in their community. Screening can also help build relationships with the families you work with, opening conversations and empowering parents around their children’s developmental health.

    What ASQ Users are Saying

    “We chose ASQ because it is easy to do, low cost, culturally sensitive, and it meets our purpose of basic screening for our children’s development. Our infant teachers base their curriculum on each individual child based on the ASQ.”
