The Ages and Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition (ASQ-3) was developed for use in pediatric developmental screening to determine the need for further evaluation of developmental delay. 1,2 This screening tool is a system of 21 age-specific questionnaires for children 1 to 66 months of age. 1,2 The ASQ-3 measures 5 developmental domains: gross motor, fine motor, communication, problem-solving, and personal-social, with items rated as typical development, need for monitoring, and need for further assessment. A professional or caregiver can complete the ASQ-3, allowing this tool the potential to be completed by a parent or caregiver before being seen by a clinician. The ASQ-3 has shown to be a reliable and valid instrument for determining the need for further developmental evaluation. The ASQ-3 was found to have excellent test-retest reliability among 4 of the 5 domains measured by the tool. 1,3 This measure has shown to have both excellent interrater reliability 4 and excellent concurrent validity in children >30 months of age. 3 The ASQ-3 has been translated and validated into multiple languages, 5 and studies have shown both the disadvantages 3 and the effectiveness of the measure when translated and culturally adapted for use in various countries. 6,7 This abbreviated summary provides a review of the psychometric properties of the ASQ-3 in pediatric populations. A full review of the ASQ-3 and reviews of nearly 370 other instruments for patients with various health conditions can be found at www.rehabmeasures.org.Please address correspondence to rehabmeasures@ric.org.
