The Bow Valley Parent Link Centres offer comprehensive developmental and social-emotional screening tools for families with children 0-6 years old. The ASQ and ASQ-SE screening tools determine those children that are typically developing and ones that require further assessment. Parents fill out the assessment on their own or with the help of a facilitator.
