Hello everyone!\u00a0 As many of us know, early intervention is the best intervention.\u00a0 The more knowledge we have about child development and how we can help our children grow, the happier and healthier our children will be.\u00a0 We all want our children to have the best.\u00a0 Sometimes we just need a few more \u201ctools in our tool box\u201d.\u00a0 All of our preschool teachers received training on a well researched and documented assessment that will help you better understand your child\u2019s development and give you some of those tools to help your child continue to grow.<\/p>\n
The assessment is called Ages and Stages Questionnaire or\u00a0ASQ<\/span>\u00a0for short.\u00a0 The questionnaire will ask you six questions in each of the following categories: Communication, Gross Motor, Fine Motor, Problem Solving, and Personal\/Social.\u00a0 One of the most important things to remember when doing the\u00a0ASQ<\/span>\u00a0is to answer all questions honestly, keeping in mind that the results are intended to help you better understand your child\u2019s development, needs, and strengths.<\/p>\n We are asking all parents\u00a0 to complete this assessment by\u00a0October 31st<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 It will take about 20-30 minutes.\u00a0 Some of the questions can be easily answered by you in seconds.\u00a0 Others you will need your child with you to answer.\u00a0 We highly recommend you read through the questions before beginning.\u00a0 We know this may sound time consuming but we promise you, it is worth it.\u00a0 They are very eye opening and will show you just how \u201con track\u201d your child is in the above five categories.<\/p>\n After completing your child\u2019s\u00a0ASQ<\/span>, teachers will be sent all the information and will be able to print and\/or email you a summary of your child\u2019s development as well as give you some fun activities for you and your child to do together to help them continue to grow and succeed.\u00a0 Most importantly for you,\u00a0ASQ<\/span>\u00a0will help you identify areas in which your child may need extra support.\u00a0 Studies done with\u00a0ASQ<\/span>\u00a0show that if parents and teachers are able to address children\u2019s needs by this age, they will be more successful students by third grade.<\/p>\n Another important aspect of this questionnaire?\u00a0 It will help teachers see just where their classes as a whole need extra support and they will be able to tailor their lesson plans to meet the needs of their students.<\/p>\n Attached you will find the flyer with detailed information about Help Me Grow (the project through Great Start Collaborative-Wayne that is providing\u00a0ASQ<\/span>\u00a0free of charge to\u00a0Dearborn<\/span>\u00a0Public Schools) as well as the link to the questionnaire.\u00a0 Thank you all very much in advance for participating in this amazing questionnaire!<\/p>\n Parent Flyer for Snow Help Me Grow Instructions<\/a><\/p>\n Hello everyone!\u00a0 As many of us know, early intervention is the best intervention.\u00a0 The more knowledge we have about child development and how we can help our children grow, the happier and healthier our children will be.\u00a0 We all want our children to have the best.\u00a0 Sometimes we just need a few more \u201ctools in Continue reading →<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1691,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mscristinagreco\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mscristinagreco\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mscristinagreco\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mscristinagreco\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1691"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mscristinagreco\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mscristinagreco\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1515\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mscristinagreco\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mscristinagreco\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/mscristinagreco\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
