Ages and Stages

Through this training, you will learn to use the ASQ to engage parents in assessing early child development and learning activities.  You will practice communication techniques and learn ways to address strengths, delays, or challenges in children's developments.  The Council will provide you with support by phone or on-site to reinforce your learning and work with your families.  

The course begins with a 2 hour training on Thursday, October 28, with Sylvia Alinger and Roseanne Lahr from Tompkins County Early Intervention Program. 

Cost to participate is $50 per person. Each participant who completes the project, including feedback and evaluation of the use of the ASQ in your child care setting within 6 months, will receive a $40 refund.  The first 15 sites to register will be given an Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) starter kit valued at $250, which includes a DVD, the reproducible ASQ scales and scoring sheets for parents and caregivers.  The ASQ packet is yours to keep to continue doing assessments with infants and toddlers.
