ASQ

At Brady’s 9 month pediatrician appointment in Colorado, I was handed an ASQ (Ages & Stages Questionnaire) to be completed by her next appointment. I was organizing random papers last weekend and pulled it out and decided I would complete it. Now the directions said to do it while the baby was there so you could actually gauge their abilities but since Brady was already in bed I decided to fill it out anyway based on what I’ve seen before and what I assumed she could. She did really good and was scored normally in all areas but problem solving. This she was right on the borderline of “needs professional intervention” and it really freaked me out. So the next day I figured I needed to start working on the problem solving skills with her to get this back up to a normal level. Fortunately, she has no issues with problem solving and I could have saved myself some added worry by following the directions. Lesson learned.
