Opis

The ASQ®:SE-2 questionnaires are the most cost-effective, reliable way to screen young children for social-emotional issues in the first 6 years of life. These 9 age-appropriate questionnaires in Arabic (2, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60 months) effectively screen 7 key social-emotional areas: self-regulation, compliance, adaptive functioning, autonomy, affect, social-communication, and interaction with people. This Arabic translation was completed by Huda Felimban, Ph.D., a bilingual (Arabic/English) lecturer in the Department of Childhood Studies at King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia, with extensive knowledge of early intervention and serving children with developmental delays. ASQ:SE-2 in Arabic was reviewed by experts from different Arabic-speaking countries (i.e., Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt) to ensure that the translation is accurate and as widely accessible as possible for parents from different countries. How to Use ASQ:SE-2 Questionnaires Fast and easy to use, ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires take just 10–15 minutes for parents to complete. First, parents fill out the questionnaire, checking the response that best describes their child's behavior: often or always, sometimes, or rarely or never. Clear questions help parents complete the questionnaires quickly and accurately, and open-ended questions ask about any related parental concerns. Professionals score the questionnaire in just 2–3 minutes, and then transfer a total score to a simple summary sheet along with any concerns the parent has noted. The summary sheet indicates whether any followup should be considered. Total scores that fall in the graph's range of risk (dark shaded zone) indicate the child may need further evaluation. A total score in the "monitoring" zone (light shaded area) helps identify children that may require followup actions based on items of concern. Professionals can work with parents to address behaviors of concern and provide social-emotional development information sheets and activities to help their child make progress before the next screening. Scores outside the shaded zones mean the child's social-emotional development appears to be developing on schedule. Parents can monitor their child's development by rescreening at the next ASQ:SE-2 interval. ASQ:SE-2 Arabic Questionnaires are provided as printable PDF master copies on CD-ROM. The CD-ROM also includes Arabic translations of the What is ASQ:SE-2? parent handout, parent conference sheet, and child monitoring sheet. Convenient, easy online completion and management for ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires are available with the purchase of ASQ® Online. Please note: each physical site must own an original ASQ®:SE-2 User's Guide (in English), in addition to this questionnaires CD.
