The ASQ (R):SE-2 questionnaires are the most cost-effective, reliable way to screen young children for social-emotional issues in the first 6 years of life. These 9 age-appropriate questionnaires in Arabic (2, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60 months) effectively screen 7 key social-emotional areas: self-regulation, compliance, adaptive functioning, autonomy, affect, social-communication, and interaction with people.

ASQ:SE-2 in Arabic was reviewed by experts from different Arabic-speaking countries (i.e., Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt) to ensure that the translation is accurate and as widely accessible as possible for parents from different countries. How to Use ASQ:SE-2 Questionnaires Fast and easy to use, ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires take just 10-15 minutes for parents to complete. First, parents fill out the questionnaire, checking the response that best describes their child's behavior: often or always, sometimes, or rarely or never. Clear questions help parents complete the questionnaires quickly and accurately, and open-ended questions ask about any related parental concerns. Professionals score the questionnaire in just 2-3 minutes, and then transfer a total score to a simple summary sheet along with any concerns the parent has noted. The summary sheet indicates whether any followup should be considered. Total scores that fall in the graph's range of risk (dark shaded zone) indicate the child may need further evaluation. A total score in the "monitoring" zone (light shaded area) helps identify children that may require followup actions based on items of concern. Professionals can work with parents to address behaviors of concern and provide social-emotional development information sheets and activities to help their child make progress before the next screening. Scores outside the shaded zones mean the child's social-emotional development appears to be developing on schedule. Parents can monitor their child's development by rescreening at the next ASQ:SE-2 interval. ASQ:SE-2 Arabic Questionnaires are provided as printable PDF master copies on CD-ROM.

This book describes how to implement social-emotional interventions with young children (birth to age 5) in their daily environments. The target audience is professionals who are working with families who are not providing ideal environments for their children, such as those families living in extreme poverty and those who are experiencing mental health problems or substance abuse. Another target audience is early interventionists who are working with children who have an identified disability or who have experienced some biological risk (i.e., low birth weight, in utero exposure to drugs or alcohol). As well as learning about screening and assessment, readers of this book will learn to pick up on cues that show that the children in their care might have social-emotional difficulties. The interventions described can be put to use during daily routines such as meal time and bath time. The activities target ten key mental health concepts: healthy social interactions, expression of a range of emotions, regulation of responses, empathy, attention and engagement, independence, self-image, regulation of attention and activity level, compliance with simple requests, and adaptive skills.
