Developmental Health

ELCFV provides free developmental, hearing, and vision screenings, along with support to ensure all children are meeting their developmental milestones.

By completing regular developmental questionnaires, you can celebrate your child’s achievements or receive assistance if your child is not yet reaching specific milestones. Early detection of potential delays allows for timely interventions to support your child.

Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ)

ELCFV offers free screenings to ensure your child is on track developmentally. Identifying developmental or social-emotional concerns early is crucial. ELCFV’s Developmental Health Specialists will review your child’s ASQ results with you and discuss the next steps.

The ASQ-3 questionnaire evaluates five developmental domains: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal-social skills. It helps in celebrating milestones and identifying potential delays.

The ASQ-SE questionnaire evaluates social-emotional development. It highlights areas of social-emotional competence, identifies behaviors of concern, and determines the need for further assessment or ongoing monitoring.
