ASQ-SE-2 Parent Welcome Letter

Dear Parent/Caregiver:

Welcome to our social-emotional screening and monitoring program! The first 5 years of your child’s life are very important. Social-emotional development within the first few years of life prepares your child to be confident, trusting, curious, and able to develop positive relationships with others. Your child’s positive social-emotional development forms a foundation for learning throughout life.

As part of this service, we provide the Ages & Stages Questionnaires®: Social- Emotional, Second Edition (ASQ:SE-2™), to help you keep track of your child’s social-emotional development. ASQ:SE-2 asks questions about your child’s behaviors and social-emotional growth.

If the questionnaire shows that your child is developing without concerns, we will share some activities that you can do at home to encourage your child’s social-emotional development. Then, we will give you a questionnaire every 6 months until your child is 3 years old, and then again at 4 and 5 years old.

If completing this questionnaire brings up any questions or concerns, we can talk about information and resources that can help. Information will be shared with other professionals or agencies only with your written consent.

We look forward to your participation in our program. Please call or e-mail me at any time if you have any questions or would like to discuss any concerns about your child’s development.

Sincerely,
