Q

The ASQ relies on information from parents but… instead of it just relying on memory, it forces the parents to go through the testing with their child. This is good for several reasons:
3

A
  1. Gets parents involved in their child’s care
  2. Helps them to become more aware of their child’s abilities/limitations
  3. Saves a ton of time as the test is already complete by the time they come to the office
