ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators


I. GETTING STARTED

Logging in to ASQ Online

You should have received an email from [email protected] with your username and steps to follow to create a password. If you did not receive an email, please email [email protected].

  1. To log in, click the “activate your account” link from the email message.

  2. Create your password at www.asqonline.com by entering it twice on the Reset Your Password page.

Entering Keycodes

An ASQ keycode is a unique 16-character code that enables you to access specific ASQ content in your online account. You will need to enter separate keycodes to access different products and different languages in ASQ Online—for example, you use one unique keycode to unlock ASQ-3 English and a different keycode to unlock ASQ-3 Spanish content.

One ASQ keycode sticker (see below) is affixed to each box of ASQ-3 or ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires as well as each ASQ-3 Learning Activities and ASQ:SE-2 Learning Activities & More book. Once you enter the keycode in ASQ Online, you will be able to use the associated ASQ questionnaires, materials, documents, learning activities, and handouts.

To enter your keycode(s) in ASQ Online:

Creating Users

As the designated Program Administrator, you have the most powerful role. Program Administrators can create additional users who should have access to the program. These users can be assigned the role of Program Administrator, Provider, or Reviewer. Each role is outlined below.

The Program Administrator role is designed for those who will be responsible for overseeing the account or program. Program Administrators can create program users, create and edit Child Profiles, assign Child Profiles to Providers, enter screening data, create and manage program documents and packets, manage Family Access, and generate reports.

The Provider role is designed for teachers, specialists, and others who work directly with children. Providers can create and edit Child Profiles, enter screening data, generate and download documents and groups of documents, and generate reports.

The Reviewer role is designed for users such as program directors and school superintendents who need to review aggregate reports on children’s progress but should not see individual child data. Reviewers can generate reports but cannot view, add, edit, or delete specific child records or screenings.

The table that follows summarizes the functions of all three roles and compares their access levels.

Creating Child & Caregiver Profiles

Once you have entered the keycodes for your program and created users, the next step is to create the Child and Caregiver Profiles.

  4. Click the checkbox for “Primary Caregiver Profile for” to confirm the associated child.
  5. Click the “Save” button. NOTE: You can add additional Caregivers for a Child Profile as necessary. If you work with siblings or students who share the same caregiver, you can add an existing Caregiver Profile to another Child Profile.

ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators


Importing Child & Caregiver Information (Optional)

As Program Administrator, you have the option to import child and caregiver information directly into your ASQ Online program from either PowerSchool, Skyward, Go Edustar, or another database system. This saves time that would be used to individually enter the child and caregiver data. It also improves data quality by ensuring ASQ Online demographic data matches data in your student information system and other data submissions.

NOTE: Importing data is optional. When you use Family Access, the caregiver will provide the demographic data needed for the child and caregiver.

To import Child and Caregiver data into ASQ Online:

  1. From the main menu select “Program.”

  2. From the main menu select “Program.”

  3. Select the Quick Link for “Import Data.”

  4. Select the Quick Link for “Import Data.”

  5. Select the tab for “Download Data Templates.”

  6. Click the “Child and Caregiver Profile Data Template” link, and save the template file to your computer.

  7. Click the “Child and Caregiver Profile Data Template” link, and save the template file to your computer.


  1. Enter the data or format the data from your database management system into the template. Review the list of fields and correct formats in the ASQ Online Import Guide on pages 19-21 below. See sample_import.csv for a sample import file to use as a guide.
  2. Once you finish adding data to your template file, save the file. NOTE: The file should be in a .csv (comma separated value) format.
  3. When you are ready to import, on the main menu choose “Program.” Then select the Quick Link for “Import Data.”
  4. From the “Import type” dropdown menu shown above, select “Child and Caregiver Profile Data Template.”
  5. From the “Date format” dropdown menu shown above, select “mm/dd/yyyy.”
  6. Click “Browse,” and select the .csv file you wish to import.
  7. Click “Import.”
  8. Once the data have been imported successfully, ASQ Online will provide a confirmation message with the number of records imported as shown in the next image. If there are any errors, the error message will display the type of errors that occurred. Once you fix the errors in your import file, you can import the data again.

Assigning Child Profiles to Providers If you have created or imported Child Profile and Caregiver Profile data, you will need to assign the Child Profiles

If you have created or imported Child Profile and Caregiver Profile data, you will need to assign the Child Profiles to the Providers in your program. There are two ways to assign a Child Profile: Go to a Provider’s user profile and assign one or more Child Profiles to that Provider; or go to a child’s profile and assign one or more Providers to that child. Once a Provider has been assigned to a Child Profile, he or she will be able to edit the Child Profile, enter screening data, create tasks, add/edit Caregiver Profiles, and generate reports.

To assign one or more Child Profiles to a Provider:

  1. From the main menu select Program.

  2. From the main menu select Program.

  3. Select the Quick Link for “Search Program Users.”

  4. Select the Quick Link for “Search Program Users.”

  5. Search for the Provider by last name and/or first name. Click the Provider name from the list.

About Family Access

Family Access is ASQ Online’s questionnaire completion system for parents, guardians, and other caregivers. Family Access allows your program to create a customizable webpage where you can have parents/caregivers complete ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 for their children online, which makes sharing this information convenient and easy for parents/caregivers.

Here’s a step-by-step look at how Family Access works:

Family Access is mobile friendly, so parents/caregivers can access the web page via a smartphone or mobile tablet.

ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators

The letter and other Family Access components allow you to enter dynamic content that automatically populates from ASQ Online whenever you generate the letter.
  4. To select which dynamic content you want to insert, click the icon of the baby (in the small red box in the image above).
  5. Edit how your program address will appear on the Family Access web page. Default dynamic content will appear but can easily be changed. ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators

  5. If you have a keycode for ASQ learning activities, include a link on the Family Access page for parents/caregivers to download them. From the “Thank you page packet” dropdown menu, select the Learning Activities packet for either ASQ-3 (shown in the first image below) or ASQ:SE-2 (second image below).


  1. If you want all Program Administrators to be able to edit the Family Access landing page and review completed questionnaires that come in through Family Access, mark the “Shared” checkbox as shown below. NOTE: The landing page cannot be unshared once you have shared it.
  2. Upload a logo that will appear on the Welcome and Thank You pages of your Family Access. You can upload your own logo or use the Kansas State Department of Education logo (available here). Click “Browse” to upload the logo and select “Medium (within 300 x 300)” for the display size.
  3. You also have the option to display footer images at the bottom of the Welcome and Thank You pages. Click “Browse” to upload footer images. ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators

Linking ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 Family Access Pages

You have the ability to link your ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 Family Access pages so parents/caregivers can complete both questionnaires using one link. When the ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 pages are linked, parents/caregivers will be presented with a landing page with the following options:

  1. Make sure you have already created your individual ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 pages.
  2. From the main navigation menu select “Family Access.” 3. Select the "Link with Shared ASQ:SE-2 English" option. ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators

  1. You will see a confirmation message (shown in the image below) that asks if you are sure you want to allow completion of ASQ:SE-2 after ASQ-3. Click "OK."

The sections that follow provide detailed information and specific suggestions.

Parents/caregivers will be more comfortable about and engaged in screening when they understand what it’s for and how it works. Here are some key areas to cover with parents/caregivers when you introduce ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 and ask them to participate.

Introducing ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 to Parents/Caregivers their child will be labeled. Here are some things you can say: • “ASQ-3 provides a quick check of your child’s

• “If you have questions or concerns about any of your child’s behaviors that are beyond my knowledge, I can help you find other resources or agencies in our community that can help.”

  1. Review the Important Points to Remember at the top of the first page of the questionnaire.

Remind parents/caregivers to answer questions based on what they know about their child’s behavior: • “Answer the questions based on your child’s

• “Answer the questions based on your child’s usual behavior, not behavior when your child is sick, very tired, or hungry.” • “A parent or caregiver who knows your child

When parents/caregivers finish completing a questionnaire, take a few moments to review what they can expect next:


Providing Questionnaires to Parents/Caregivers

ASQ Online makes available several resources that can be used to help acquaint parents/caregivers with ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2, including an introduction letter, information about ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2, and a blank questionnaire for completion. You can print blank copies of these resources or create your own packet of materials.

Documents and blank questionnaires are available for printing in ASQ Online under the “Documents” section of Screening Management.

The 72 month questionnaire is not included with your ASQ-3 Starter Kit and must be printed from the online system. To print the 72 month questionnaire:

Entering Questionnaire Results via Family Access

The easiest way to collect child, parent/caregiver, and questionnaire results is to use Family Access. Using Family Access eliminates the need to create or import Child and Caregiver Profiles as well as the need to manually enter questionnaire results. The following section provides a step-by-step overview of how parents/caregivers enter questionnaire results through Family Access.

  1. When a parent/caregiver visits a Family Access landing page, he or she is first asked to enter information in the fields for Child’s Date of Birth, Weeks Premature (red box), and Screening Date (red box) and click the “Submit” button (red arrow).
  2. Once this information has been entered, Family Access will generate the correct screening interval for the child and instruct the parent/caregiver to print out a blank copy of the questionnaire to fill out with the child. The system will also instruct the parent/caregiver to return to the Family Access landing page to enter the information collected on the child’s questionnaire (red box in the image below).

IMPORTANT: The questionnaire responses must be entered into Family Access during one sitting. It is

recommended that you provide (or have the parent/caregiver print) a blank copy of the questionnaire and review the questions before completing the questionnaire. Some parents/caregivers may choose to fill out the questionnaire on paper first and then go into Family Access to enter the results, or they may enter the results directly into Family Access. Remind parents/caregivers that Family Access is mobile friendly and is accessible via smartphones or tablets.

ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators


  1. When the parent/caregiver is ready to enter the results in Family Access, they will return to the Family Access page and enter the Child’s Date of Birth and Weeks Premature. They will then select the “Enter your results” button (red arrow).
  2. Parents/caregivers are then instructed to enter the child’s and parent’s/caregiver’s demographic information. ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators

  1. Once the demographic information has been entered, the parent/caregiver will click “Next” (red arrow) to continue.
  2. The parent/caregiver then enters the screening results in the online questionnaire form. ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators

ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators


  1. The arrow buttons can be used to navigate either back to the previous area or forward to the next.
  2. Once all responses have been entered, the parent/caregiver will click “Submit.”
  3. A prompt will appear stating that answers cannot be altered once the questionnaire is submitted. The parent/caregiver will click the “OK” button.
  4. Once the questionnaire has been submitted, the parent/caregiver will be directed to a personalized “Thank You” page. If you have decided to include learning activities on this page, parents/caregivers will be able to click the link (red box) to download learning activities (red arrow). ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators

Accepting Questionnaires from Family Access

Once a parent/caregiver has completed a questionnaire via Family Access, you will need to review the family access screening and accept it into your program. To review questionnaires submitted via Family Access:

  1. From the main menu select “Family Access.”
  2. Review the message display to see whether there are Family Access screenings to approve. Select the link.
  3. Review the list that displays the child’s and parent’s/caregiver’s information, questionnaire completed, screened date, and completed date. Click “Preview” to see full details about the Family Access screening. ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators

  1. If a child profile does not yet exist in ASQ Online, choose “Accept as a new child profile and assign to provider” (red box in first image below). Click the “Process” button. This is a good time to improve data quality by ensuring that the child's demographic information (particularly the spelling of the child's name) match data in your student information system and other data submissions. OR If a Child Profile and Caregiver Profile already exist in ASQ Online, choose “Accept and attach to an existing child profile” (radio button in the red box in the second image below). Type the child’s name to find the correct Child Profile.
  2. If the Child Profile already exists, select the correct name from the drop-down menu. Click the “Process” button. Once a Family Access screening has been accepted, you and the assigned Provider will immediately be able to review the information summary sheet and questionnaire results. ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators

When Family Access screenings become available to review, you have the option to receive alerts either by mobile phone or email. To create a mobile phone or email alert:

  1. From the main menu select “My Profile” (red box).
  2. Click the “Edit” tab next to My Profile (red arrow in image above). Then enter your mobile phone number and the name of your mobile carrier. Click the “Save” button.
  3. Select the Quick Link for “My Alerts.” ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators

  1. Scroll down until you see the “Family Access Alerts” tab. Select your text or email options, select the time, and select “On” from the Status drop-down menu. For example, the selections shown below ensure that you will receive a daily text at 4:00 PM when there are new screens to review:
Family Access Alerts
Alert Time Status
Text me Daily if new screens have been submitted via Family Access that I must approve or reject. Time:16:00 On
Email me Daily if new screens have been submitted via Family Access that I must approve or reject. Time:16:00 Off
Text me At each occurrence if new screens were accepted via Family Access and assigned to me for review. Off

Differences Between ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2

Keep in mind that interpreting results for ASQ-3 is different from interpreting results for ASQ:SE-2, because the relationship of scores to the cutoff is different. On ASQ-3 scoring BELOW the cutoff indicates a concern, while on ASQ:SE-2 scoring ABOVE the cutoff indicates a concern.

Interpretation
Concern:
Further assessment with a professional may be r
Monitor:
Review behaviors of concern and monitor.
No Concern:

In addition, ASQ-3 includes an Overall section where parents/caregivers can indicate a concern. In ASQ:SE-2, parents/caregivers have the option to mark whether they have concerns about each questionnaire item, and there is a short Overall section that consists of 2−3 questions.

The “Screening Management” section of ASQ Online also offers these selected documents and resources you can print or include in packets to parents/caregivers:

Teacher/Provider Responsibilities Family & Teacher/Provider Responsibilities
✓ Review total scores and family concerns. ✓ Follow local procedures for tiered interventions (i.e., MTSS). ✓ If ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 results together with other pieces of data-driven evidence demonstrate a concern, follow your school’s SIT process/protocol. ✓ Actual scores on ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 should not be shared with families. Instead, focus on how the child is developing (on target, needs more support to be on target in Kindergarten, not on target). ✓ Review things the child can do well. In cases where the child has not been successful in a certain area, discuss strengths based on the child’s current development and encourage opportunities for practice at home. ✓ Give families learning activities to support the child at home. ✓ For SOMETIMES and NOT YET responses, tell families that you will be working together on skills. ✓ Thank families for participating.

Following are strategies to use when preparing to talk with parents/caregivers about their child’s results.

Tips for Discussing Results with Families

Before the meeting, consider and plan for cultural or language issues. What is the family’s home language? Do you need an interpreter? Which family members should be at the meeting? Be timely and ensure confidentiality. Provide screening follow-up information as quickly as possible. Set a time that works for the family. Make sure there is enough time for discussion/questions. Select a private, comfortable place to meet. Assure the family that any information they share will be kept confidential. Begin the meeting by celebrating the child. Parents/caregivers want to know you value their child. What do you enjoy about this child? What have you noticed or observed in your time with them? Review the purpose of screening. Screening is a service offered to all families for a quick look to see if development is on track. Results let us know children’s strengths and areas we can follow up on in school or at home. Review the questionnaire. Start with strengths. Celebrate what the child IS doing. Parent/caregiver and professional observations might differ. That is okay. Review the Information Summary sheet and scoring chart. Be careful with the language you use when reviewing the scoring chart—avoid terms such as pass/fail/test. Instead use terms such as on track, monitor, and below/above cutoff. Discuss follow-up actions specific to the child. Share fun learning activities for home. Share community resources. Ask about sharing concerns with the child’s health care provider. Make referrals as indicated and as parents/caregivers request. ASQ-3

ASQ Online Quick Reference Guide for Kansas Administrators information and take next steps. If parents/caregivers are not concerned—or if this is all new information—it might take a little longer.

Listen and read subtle cues. Reflect back what the parent/caregiver shares (or information from the questionnaire). Use open-ended questions to gather more information about parents’/caregivers’ observations or concerns. “Can you tell me more about…” or “What I hear you saying is...”. Reflect back what the parent/caregiver shared on the questionnaire: “Based on your observations, it looks like it would be good to get more information about your child’s communication skills.”

If you share concerns; be specific with your observations. “I’ve noticed that Alice doesn’t turn her head when I talk to her in the classroom. I’m not sure if she is hearing me. Have you noticed that at home?”

Review factors to consider together to determine whether these have affected the child’s performance (e.g., health, family stress, language/cultural factors, setting, etc.). Discuss factors that affect child development—for example, if a child is not hearing well, communication skills (or behavior) may not develop as expected. Ask the parent/caregiver, “Can you tell me a little more about…?”

Remember, your job is to guide and support, not to convince parents/caregivers to make a referral. Be ready for big feelings or no feelings. Stay calm. Your role is to support, guide, and inform parents/caregivers about resources. If parents/caregivers are not ready to make a referral, that is their choice. Remember, you can support the child’s development or positive behavior by supporting parents/caregivers in the home.

Know your community resources. Help parents/caregivers take next steps. Support referrals to local Early Intervention, Special Education, parenting education, parenting support, behavioral health programs, and the like.
