Data Driven Goal Setting With a Focus on ASQ3 Developmental Screening Presenter: Roberta Payne
Part I : Overview • Part II : Recommended Tools • Part III : Referral Process • Part IV: Implementation Strategies • Part: V Data Driven Goal Setting
Learning Objectives • Identify developmental screening and early intervention as a valuable CECC goal • Learn how tools to screen for developmental delays might be used • How programs may Implement referral procedures for children who fail or pass but exhibit potential developmental concerns to expedite Early Intervention • Employ parent/caregiver education materials as a strategy
Data on Detection RatesWithout Tools With Tools • 80-90% with mental health problems identified (Sturner, JDBP 1991; 12:51-64) • 70-80% with developmental disabilities correctly identified (Squires et al., JDBP 1996; 17:420-427) • 20% of mental health problems identified (Lavigne et al. Pediatr. 1993; 91:649-655) • 30% of developmental disabilities identified (Palfrey et al. JPEDS. 1994; 111:651-655)
Federal/Legal Requirements • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) 1990 • Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) 1975 (Amended in 2004)
What to Expect • Developmental or Behavioral Disorders • Speech and language issues • Mental retardation • Learning problems • Attentional disorders • Other behavioral difficulties • only ½ of children with these problems identified prior to school entrance
What to Expect http://www.pedstest.com/test/peds_intro.html
Data to Consider:Children • Development exists on a continuum • Children manifest skills variably, inconsistently • Latent period • Developmental problems increase with age • 2-3% of 0-18 month olds • 10% of 24-72 month olds • 16% of 0-21 year olds
Parents/Caregivers • Parents are reservoirs of rich information • Screening structures observations, reports, and communication about child development • Screening becomes a teaching tool for parents and child care professionals • Screening improves relationships
Preparing Parents/Caregivers • Explain tool and purpose to parents • Discourage assumption of a “problem” • addressing behavioral and developmental issues is an important part of your service • Assess ability to complete tool properly • with assistance? • in center or at home?
Communicating Results • Focus on positives • Practice your language “Learning too slowly” “Delayed in some areas” “Needs some extra attention and support”
Communicating Results • Stress the need for further evaluation and follow-up • Offer parents activities they can do right away • Help the parent to inform others
Encouraging Next Steps • Acknowledge parent’s fear • Avoid judging parents • Encourage communication, particularly when recommendations are not followed • Provide parent with information on the referral • Set a follow-up
Encouraging Next Steps • The importance of information to parents: • Must explain situation to others • Language barriers • Logistics • “Demystify” the process
Part I Summary Developmental Screening is: • Recommended by AAP • Beneficial to all children • Challenging but rewarding to implement • Provides critical data for planning and decision making
Screening Test Features • Sensitivity • Specificity • Positive predictive value • Validity • Reliability
Screening Test Features • Scoring • Training • Administration
Ages & Stages™ Questionnaire • Parent report tool with exercises, 30-35 items • Covers 5 skill/developmental areas • Written at a 6th grade level • Available in Spanish, English, and French • Choices of responses (yes, sometimes, not yet) • Requires 10-15 minutes to complete, 5 minutes to score • 21 color-coded age-appropriate questionnaires and score sheets
Ages & Stages™ Questionnaire Using the shapes below to look at, does your child copy at least three shapes onto a large piece of paper using a pencil or crayon, without tracing? Your child’s drawings should look similar to the design of the shapes below, but they may be different in size. Yes Sometimes Not Yet
Ages & Stages™ Questionnaire • Use ASQ Information Summary sheet to score and for child’s permanent record • Ensure test is complete • Convert responses to point values: yes (10), sometimes (5), not yet (0) • Add item scores by developmental area and record totals • Use ratio scoring procedure for unfinished sections
Ages & Stages™ Questionnaire Refer or Follow-up
Ages & Stages™ Questionnaire The specific answers to each item on the questionnaire can be recorded below on the summary chart.
Autism Spectrum Disorders • 1 in 88 children • Age of diagnosis falling • Parent concern ~18 months of age • Early detection crucial
Autism Spectrum Disorders Distinguishing characteristics of children with autism at mental age of 12-24 months: • Lack of joint attention • Lack of eye gaze to determine others’ intentions • Lack of proto-declarative pointing • Using another person’s body as a tool • Failure to “show objects” to adults • Lack of initiation • Lack of symbolic play
Absolute Indications for Immediate Evaluation- Refer to Early Intervention System Autism Screening • 12 months: No babbling, pointing, or other gestures • 16 months: No single words • 24 months: No 2-word, spontaneous phrases (not echolalic) • Any age: Any loss of any language or social skills

Incorporating Screening into Practice Using Data to Drive Goal Setting QUESTIONS: • Which tools at what intervals? • How do Programs make time for screening? • Who administers the screening, scores the tests, and communicates results and documents data outcomes?
Incorporating Screening into Practice ANSWER: • The Team Approach • Solves problems • Generates new ideas • Encourages participation • Requires training
Screening Administration Considerations Tools can be: • Distributed at designated times to be completed and brought back • Completed at enrollment or entry to program • Completed by phone interview • Completed through a community screening event
Strategies and Roles- How it Might Work Front Line Staff • implement the system • score questionnaires • provide routine feedback • distribute parent education • maintain and update referral lists ProgramDirectors • establish the system • choose the tools • train staff • provide feedback to parents • advise parents on development and behavior
