Reason for Referral: Jack’s parents completed an 22-month Ages & Stages Questionnaires-
Third Edition (ASQ-3) and a 24-month Ages & Stages Questionnaires: Social Emotional-Second
Edition (ASQ:SE-2) as part of an assignment for assessment and evaluation course at Kent state
university.
Background information: Jack is an only child who lives with his mother and father. His
mother is a board-certified behavior analyst, and his father works in sales. Jack’s family enjoys
reading and playing with him. His mother describes him as adventurous and silly. They are not
experiencing any delays or concerns currently.
Current Assessment: The 22-month ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 were administered by a Kent state
student pursing an early intervention certificate. The ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 are used to measure
the child’s development and identify any concerns the family may have. Results from the ASQ-3
and the ASQ:SE-2 identify Jack’s strengths as well as areas that he may need extra support.
Scores in each area are compared to a cutoff score and this helps determine a need for extra
support in each area. For the ASQ:SE-2, recommendations for further evaluation will be made
for scores lower than the cutoff. For the ASQ-3, recommendations for further evaluation will be
made for scores higher than the cutoff. The ASQ-3 screenings are used to provide a screening of
Jack’s development in the following domains: communication (e.g., using words), gross motor
(e.g., walking, jumping), fine motor (e.g., stacking blocks, turning pages of a book), problem
solving (e.g., getting snacks out of a container when they are stuck, rotating a bottle when it is
upside down), personal social (e.g., copying activities that parents engage in, caring for stuffed
animals like a child), and social emotional (e.g., self soothe after 5 minutes, smile and laugh
while playing). These results are listed below with cutoff scores for each domain.
Summary of Scores
Gross Motor, Fine Motor, Communication and Personal-social: Jack scored well above
the cut-off score in the Gross Motor, Fine Motor, communication, Problem Solving, and
Personal-social areas. When we compare these scores to children of Jacks age, he appears to be
on schedule in all of these areas. No further assessments are recommended at this time.
Social emotional: Jack scored well below the cut-off score in the social emotional area
according to the ASQ:SE-2 report. No further assessments are recommended at this time.
Overall Questions: Jack’s parents did not have any questions regarding Jack’s growth and
development currently.
