What's New in ASQ:SE-2
ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires are better than ever, with helpful new features like:

• New 2 month questionnaire: Reliably screen and start monitoring children as young as 1 month, so critical interventions can start earlier.
• Screen through kindergarten: Now you can screen children from 1–72 months with no gaps, so you can use ASQ:SE-2 through kindergarten and the transition to school.
• New behavior and communication items designed to elicit parent concerns that may point to autism and early communication issues.
• New data and cutoffs: ASQ:SE-2 is based on updated research and a large sample size of more than 14,000 diverse children.
• New monitoring zone that clearly identifies children who are close to the cutoff and should be monitored and rescreened.
• Questionnaire items revised and refined based on user feedback, to help parents provide the best responses.
• Sturdy, convenient new box with a handle for easy portability.

The Starter Kit is part of the ASQ:SE-2 screening system. ASQ:SE-2 is the bestselling screener trusted to uncover possible social-emotional issues as early as possible during the crucial first 6 years of life. The 9 age-appropriate ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires effectively screen 7 key developmental areas: self-regulation, compliance, adaptive functioning, autonomy, affect, social-communication, and interaction with people.
