For next week, please do the following:
Read
Read chapter 5 of Understand Child Development (pg. 96-109). Identify 3 things that you find interesting and that you want to remember for when you have kids someday (or when you are interacting with kids in the future). Write the three things down and bring to class!
Continue Reading…
Continue reading What the Children Taught Me. Or, if you haven’t started it yet, get going! Remember to be writing down the Snippets of Wisdom that you find on the post-it notes in the cover of your book.
Complete ASQ
The ASQ is a questionnaire that is used to assess development in children. In order to complete the questionnaire you need a child ages 14 months to 3 years old and their caregiver. You will ask the caregiver the questions and mark their responses on the questionnaire. If the caregiver isn’t sure if the child can complete a certain task, they can have the child try it while you are there. Here is the link where you will find the questionnaires.

Do NOT print the entire file-it is 191 pages! Only print the test for the specific age of the child you are assessing.
You do not need to fill out the first page, which is name and address information. Fill out the questionnaire while you are with the child and caregiver, but wait to fill out the last page (Information Summary with scoring sheet) until you leave. You will turn all of these pages in. You do not need to do a write up for this assignment 🙂
Before beginning the assessment, you should explain to the caregiver that you are completing the questionnaire for a class and that you are learning how to do assessments. Let them know that the questionnaire is anonymous (that you won’t be writing down their child’s name on the questionnaire).
