### Information Summary

The Information Summary sheet is the scoring form for ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2. It provides a complete summary of the questionnaire information and results. The Information Summary sheet provides the following information for a child:

For ASQ-3:

- Total scores and cutoffs for each area
- A scoring graph that shows where the child’s score falls (below the cutoff, in the monitoring zone, above the cutoff)
- Overall responses
- ASQ-3 score interpretation and recommendations for follow-up
- Follow-up actions taken
- Individual item responses

For ASQ:SE-2:

- Total scores by page, total overall score, and cutoff
- A graph that shows where the child’s score falls (below the cutoff, in the monitoring zone, above the cutoff)
- Overall responses and concerns
- ASQ:SE-2 score interpretation
- Follow-up referral considerations
- Follow-up actions

### ASQ-3 Information Summary

Section 1 of the ASQ-3 Information Summary displays the cutoff, the total score, and a graph of where the child’s score falls for each area.

- If the score is in the light area, it is above the cutoff and the child’s development appears to be on schedule.
- If the score is in the gray-shaded area, it is close to the cutoff and the child is in the monitoring zone.
- If the score is in the dark-shaded area, it is below the cutoff.

**Section 4 of the ASQ-3 Information Summary** is where you can document any follow-up actions that will be taken. In ASQ Online, the follow-up is interactive and tasks can be created for tracking purposes.

### Engaging with Families

Here are some guidelines to remember as you engage with families and share results from the ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires:

- Review the total area scores and family concerns.
- Actual scores on the ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 should not be shared with families. The focus should be on how the child is developing.
- Follow local procedures for tiered interventions.
- Provide families with the corresponding learning activities to support the child at home.
- Thank them for participating.
