Reviews

"This is an invaluable resource for parents and pediatric providers alike! It makes the process of social-emotional screening more effective and, very importantly, more safe. The newsletters provide an overview of what parents should expect. The learning activities promote healthy parent-child interaction and social-emotional growth. The tip sheets give parents easy-to-read guidance for specific ages and special topics. Can't wait to use it in clinic with the ASQ: SE-2!" --Kevin Marks
