Help Me Grow Utah offers screenings to help you track your child’s development, understand their unique strengths, and find areas where extra support is needed. We offer:

• The Ages & Stages Questionnaire, to look at your child’s general development
• Social/Emotional Ages & Stages Questionnaires, to look at your child’s behavior and social-emotional development
• The Edinburgh Screening, to look at parents’ well-being during pregnancy and after childbirth
• The M-CHAT, to search for autism risk factors

Your child can be as young as 1 month old. The Ages & Stages Questionnaires go up to age 5 years old to look at your child’s general development and behavior.

The frequency of the Ages & Stages Questionnaires varies based on the age and needs of your child. Parents may complete this questionnaire at anytime by visiting bit.ly/ASQenglish.

• • Age 1 month – 1 year: every 2-3 months
• Age 1 year – 2 years: every 2-4 months
• Age 2 years – 3 years: every 3-6 months

Help Me Grow Utah strives to offer the Social/Emotional Ages & Stages Questionnaire to look at your child’s behavior around the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd birthday. In addition, we offer it when a parent expresses a concern. Parents may complete this questionnaire up to age 5 at any time by visiting bit.ly/asqse

Absolutely! The majority of families participating with Help Me Grow Utah don’t have any concerns. It’s a great tool to better understand the skills your child may be able to do. When parents understand child development, parenting becomes easier and expectations of a child become more realistic.
