About the Program
The Alberta Resource Centre for Quality Enhancement (ARCQE) has been working to increase awareness and use of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ: 3) and Social-Emotional (ASQ: SE2) screening tools across Alberta. ARCQE’s engagement with the sector relative to development screening supports GRASP: Family Child Care agencies (FCC) & Child Care (CC).
The overarching aim of the GRASP project is to:
- Guide enhancement of environments as a means of optimizing children’s developmental potential.
- Support educator strategies focused on best practice relative to developmental outcomes.
- Provide access to formal coaching and on-site support and resources specific to use of ASQ tools.
