SUMMARY:ASQ Day at The Hub
DESCRIPTION:On Oct. 10\, staff at the Homewood Early Learning Hub & Family Center will be available to administer the ASQ-3 developmental screening tool and provide feedback and/or resources to caregivers. \nAges & Stages Questionnaires® (ASQ®) provides reliable\, accurate developmental and social-emotional screening for children between birth and age 6. Drawing on parents’ expert knowledge\, ASQ has been specifically designed to pinpoint developmental progress and catch delays in young children—paving the way for meaningful next steps in learning\, intervention\, or monitoring. \nCaregivers must register their child and choose a timeslot\, anticipating that the screening will take approximately one hour. Two children can be screened during a single timeslot.  \nThe event will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday\, Oct. 10. \nThose interested in attending should register now. Please contact Nicole Banner at nicole@tryingtogether.org with any questions.
