ASQ - Cultural Adaptations Guidelines for Aboriginal Communities
In June 2007, Step By Step Child and Family Center (SBSCFC), an inclusive early childhood center for children aged 18 months to 6 years and their families, was awarded a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SHHRC) Aboriginal Research Development Grant. The grant funded a project titled Towards an Adaptation of Early Intervention Tools To Reflect and Respect the Cultural Reality of First Nation People, which focused on the examination and adaptation of the Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) Squires, Twombly, Bricker, & Potter (2009). Ages & Stages Questionnaires®, Third Edition (ASQ-3) Baltimore, MD: Paul H. Brookes Publishing Co., Inc.). The ASQ* with its many years of international usage and research has been a screening tool that is accepted, well-used and appreciated by many Indigenous communities. We at SBSCFC wanted to take a closer look so as to determine if the ASQ was the best tool for us.
