Because your child's first years of life are so important, we want to help you provide the best start for your child. You've been invited to participate in the Ages & Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition (ASQ-3), to help you keep track of your child's development.

We ask that the questionnaire be completed at the 9-, 12-, 18-, 24-, 30- and 36-month periods. You will be asked to answer questions about some things your child can and cannot do. The questionnaire includes questions about your child's communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal social skills.

If you are unable to print from home, Suburban Pediatrics can print and mail/fax you the forms to complete.  There will also be copies available in the office for you to complete before you go into a room. Please arrive 15 minutes early for your appointment if you will be completing at the office.

This questionnaire must be completed before your child’s appointment.
