# Parenting Program Coordinator - Standards Alignment - Frequently Asked Questions (Brookes Publishing)

### Which professional resources align with home visiting models like PAT or HFA?

**Summary:** ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 are already trusted by home visiting programs including HFA, PAT, and Nurse-Family Partnership, supporting two of PAT's four essential service delivery requirements (screening and personal visits), with nine states already using or training on ASQ as part of PAT.

Home visiting models such as Parents as Teachers (PAT) and Healthy Families America (HFA) build their work around regular developmental and social-emotional screening, family partnership, and referral to community services. Resources that align well are ones designed for parent-completed screening during visits.

The Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2), published by Brookes Publishing, are already trusted by home visiting programs including Healthy Families America, Parents as Teachers, and Nurse-Family Partnership to check children's developmental progress and catch potential delays early (agesandstages.com). Because the questionnaires are parent-completed, families take a vital role in screening from the beginning, which supports the relationship-based approach these models use.

For PAT specifically, ASQ supports two of the model's four essential service delivery requirements: screening and personal visits (agesandstages.com). Parent educators can use the questionnaires to share age-appropriate development information during visits, and states including Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Utah already use or provide training on ASQ and ASQ:SE-2 as part of PAT (agesandstages.com). The ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 Learning Activities give home visitors simple, printable activities that use common household materials to support development between visits, and scored questionnaires help inform referrals to community services.
