Training
The ASQ-TRAK is unique and user training is recommended. A customised training program was developed alongside the adaption of the ASQ-3, based on adult learning theories and recommendations from the literature regarding culturally appropriate professional development methods. The program has been shown to improve practitioners' skills, knowledge, competence, and confidence to identify and manage developmental difficulties and promote child development (D'Aprano, Silburn, Johnston, Oberklaid, & Tayler, 2015).
Certified practitioner training comprises a two-day workshop program, providing an introductory and/or advanced review of child development and surveillance, followed by instruction in accurate use of the screening tool including administration, interpreting scores and communicating results and information to families. Content is delivered through participant interaction, including small and large group discussion, analysis of video examples, role-plays, hands-on time with the tool and materials, and practice for peer-coaching in the workplace. Workshop content and duration can be tailored to the needs of users and is suitable for all areas and levels of practice including Aboriginal Health Practitioners, Community Based Workers, Child Health Nurses, Paediatricians, Allied Health Specialists, Early Childhood Teachers and Educators, Child Health Nurses and others working in the field of Early Childhood. Training provides certification in the use of the ASQ-TRAK and enables practitioners to access further online resources and participate in a Community of Practice.
