If your child attends an early years setting, ask the key worker about the Early Years Progress Check. If this has been completed for your child, share it with the Health Visitor at the development review. This will add further information to the assessment.
Before your child’s 2 ½ year review you will be sent two Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ and ASQ-SE) by the Health Visiting Team covering Stoke on Trent
or Staffordshire Families and Wellbeing 0-19 service to complete.
The first ASQ covers 5 areas of development:
- Communication
- Gross motor development
- Fine motor development
- Personal and social development
- Problem-solving.
The second questionnaire (ASQ-SE) is specific to your child’s social and emotional development.
Filling these questionnaires out prior to the appointment allows you time to play with your child and observe their development in the familiar surroundings of your own home. It also provides time to think about your child’s social and emotional development so you can feel prepared for the appointment.
