ASQ-3’s high validity and reliability have been proven by extensive research. These results underscore the overall effectiveness of ASQ-3 to discriminate between children with developmental delays and those who appear to be developing typically.
*Given the complexity of measuring child development, the American Academy of Pediatrics considers high quality developmental screening tests to have sensitivities and specificities of 70% to 80%.
The validity of ASQ-3 has been studied more than any other screener. Psychometric studies based on a normative sample of more than 18,000 questionnaires show high reliability, internal consistency, sensitivity, and specificity.
ASQ-3 (and its prior editions) is cited by countless articles as an accurate, cost-effective, and parent-friendly instrument for screening and monitoring of young children. A few key articles are listed below—feel free to browse a more comprehensive list of ASQ-3 studies.
Studies on ASQ-3 are currently being conducted in the United States, Canada, and countries throughout the world. We look to our users to inform the future evolutions of ASQ-3—the educators, families and professionals using our tools on a daily basis. To date, thousands of families and professionals have provided valuable feedback to the tool’s developers at the Early Intervention Program at the University of Oregon.
Our developers are happy to receive blind data to help further their research and the development of future editions. If your program has collected data on ASQ-3 and would like to share it, email rights@brookespublishing.com. Please include your data and complete contact information, which will be shared only with the authors and not used by Brookes Publishing or any other party.
More children than ever before are being diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD)—currently, the CDC estimates that an average of 1 in 68 children in the United States has an ASD. 1
Here’s the good news. With early diagnosis and intervention, a child’s chances for social and academic success can be greatly improved.
This is where ASQ-3 comes in. Through its parent-completed questionnaires, educators and professionals get the critical insights need to detect delays or potential delays.
In fact, exciting retrospective research shows that ASQ accurately identified children who were later found to have autism after further assessment. And with ASQ-3’s questions on behavior and expressive language, it’s easier than ever to elicit parent concerns that may indicate autism.
ASQ-3 is a fast and accurate first step in identifying children with autism—and quickly starting the intervention services to truly impact outcomes during these early, critical first years.

In an effort to connect professionals with the most effective, accurate screeners, the experts at Pediatrics in Review performed a thorough review of leading screeners. The results are published in its research: “Selecting Developmental Surveillance and Screening Tools.”
Ages & Stages Questionnaires was recommended as a parent report measure to screen both for general developmental delay and for developmental delay in at-risk (such as preterm birth or economically disadvantaged) populations.

“What I love about the ASQ is that it allows our staff to catch delays quickly and allows us to get our clients the early intervention programs that they sometimes need. In many cases [ASQ] helps us catch children up before they start kindergarten, therefore providing children with the start that they deserve.” Sharon Gee, Supervisor, Healthy Families Niagara
