About this webinar

Join early childhood development experts and authors, Sue Yockelson, Ph.D., BCBA and Liz Twombly, M.S. to demystify developmental screening. This thought-provoking webinar will highlight developmental screening’s powerful role in supporting young children and their families during the critical first five years of life. You will explore how developmental screening—especially when integrated into your early learning program—can help identify a child’s strengths and potential areas for support.

Liz and Sue will explain how screening tools like the Ages & Stages Questionnaires® (ASQ) can be used to guide individualized services, strengthen family-provider relationships, and promote school readiness. You will also learn about a variety of free, easy-to-access follow-up resources ranging from everyday developmental activities to comprehensive referrals for additional support.  

By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

  1. Define developmental screening and explain its value in early childhood programs.

  2. Identify ways to use screening results to individualize services and strengthen family engagement.

  3. Describe how to use the Ages & Stages Questionnaires® and locate free resources to support children’s developmental needs.
