#### What ASQ Users are Saying

“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
