# An Introduction to ASQ®:SE-2

## What is ASQ:SE-2?

- Parent-completed questionnaires that reliably identify young children at risk for social or emotional difficulties.
- Screens 7 key behavioral areas—self-regulation, compliance, communication, adaptive functioning, autonomy, affect, and interaction with people.

## The 7 Key Behavioral Areas

- **Self Regulation:** The child’s ability to calm or settle down or adjust to physiological or environmental conditions or stimulation.
- **Compliance:** The child’s ability or willingness to conform to the direction of others and follow rules.
- **Adaptive Functioning:** The child’s success or ability to cope with physiological needs.
- **Autonomy:** The child’s ability or willingness to self-initiate or respond without guidance.
- **Affect:** The child’s ability to demonstrate his or her own feelings and empathy for others.
- **Social-Communication:** The child’s ability to interact with others by responding or initiating verbal or nonverbal signals.
- **Interaction with People:** The child’s ability to respond or initiate social responses to parents, other adults, or peers.
