The ASQ: SE works by asking parents or caregivers to fill out a questionnaire that looks at specific behaviors related to a child’s social-emotional development. Professionals use the information to determine if the child may need additional support or intervention. Let’s explore some examples of the ASQ: SE in action:
- A child has trouble calming down after being upset.
- A child struggles to follow simple instructions.
- A child has difficulty making friends or playing with others.
- A child has trouble expressing their emotions appropriately.
In these examples, the ASQ: SE can help identify possible areas of concern and provide guidance for further evaluation or support. By addressing these concerns early, children with special needs can receive the assistance they require to thrive in their social-emotional development. Goally can be a valuable resource for these kids, offering engaging apps that build life and language skills, including visual schedules, AAC, and gamified learning, to support their growth and development.
