ASQ:SE-2 vs the AbilityScore® developmental assessment

The ASQ:SE-2 is a short, parent-completed screening questionnaire that flags whether a child's social-emotional development may need a closer look. The AbilityScore® is a clinician-administered structured assessment that builds a detailed, multi-domain developmental baseline to guide a therapy plan. They are partners, not rivals: a screen often points toward a fuller assessment, and only a qualified Pinnacle clinician forms an AbilityScore® or any diagnosis.

Should My Child Have an ASQ:SE-2 Assessment, and What Does It Involve?

The ASQ:SE-2 is a quick, parent-completed screening questionnaire for children aged 1 month to 6 years that looks at social and emotional development — self-regulation, social connection, managing feelings, and responding to routines.

It informs but never replaces clinician-administered structured assessment.
