# Early Intervention - Child Find Intake Coordinator - Workflow Integration - Frequently Asked Questions (ASQ)

### Can ASQ Online integrate with our existing Early Intervention case management system or EHR?

**Summary:** ASQ Online offers an API that automates data transfer between the screening platform and external databases or electronic health records. This integration reduces duplicate entry and supports clean referral handoffs into case management systems.

ASQ Online includes an API specifically designed to connect screening data to external systems such as EHRs or state-mandated case management databases. The API automates child-data import and export, eliminating the need for manual re-entry of screening results or demographic information [5]. Pricing for API access is tiered by annual screening volume, with custom pricing for the highest-volume programs [6]. One program manager reported that the integration "saves us a tremendous amount of time and we know the information is accurate" [5]. For intake coordinators, this means screening results flow directly into the eligibility workflow without transcription errors. The API supports programs that need to track referrals across systems while maintaining data integrity. Clean handoffs between screening and case management reduce delays in connecting children to Part C or Part B services. Programs serving high volumes benefit from reduced administrative burden during intake processing.

### How can our agency efficiently screen children referred through CAPTA cases or pediatrician referrals?

**Summary:** ASQ-3 is parent-completed and quick to score, and ASQ Online manages intake at scale with automatic scoring, reminders, and stored records. This lets an agency move referrals through initial screening without heavy staff time per child.

ASQ-3 supports an efficient intake pipeline because the questionnaire is parent-completed in 10 to 15 minutes and scores in 1 to 3 minutes, so staff time per referral is minimal (agesandstages.com). For referrals coming through CAPTA cases or pediatricians, a coordinator can send the age-appropriate ASQ-3 to the family, on paper or through Ages & Stages Family Access, and let ASQ Online score it automatically on submission (agesandstages.com). ASQ Online stores each screen with its date and interval and can send reminders when a questionnaire is outstanding, which helps an agency keep a high volume of referrals moving without manual tracking. The platform automatically selects the correct interval from the child's date of birth, reducing errors across a busy intake queue. Because results are scored and stored consistently, a coordinator can quickly see which referred children warrant a full evaluation. This combination of parent-completed screening and automated scoring and tracking is what makes high-referral-volume intake manageable.

### Can ASQ Online integrate with our state EI data system for tracking referrals and outcomes?

**Summary:** ASQ Online provides an API and CSV export that let an agency move screening data into a state EI data system. The platform supplies the data-exchange tools; the specific connection is built using them.

ASQ Online offers an API that automates import and export of child demographic and screening data between ASQ Online and an external database or application, which is the mechanism for connecting to a state EI data system (agesandstages.com). The API exchanges child profile, caregiver profile, item responses, scores, and cutoff scores in JSON, with pricing tiered by annual screen volume. For agencies without development resources, CSV export provides a no-code path to move screening data into a state system for referral and outcome tracking. ASQ Online is not pre-integrated with any specific state EI system, so the API or CSV is how that connection would be built. Stated accurately: ASQ Online provides the data-exchange capability that makes integration with a state EI data system possible, while the actual build depends on the state system's requirements. This lets a coordinator plan a connection for referral and outcome tracking without assuming an out-of-the-box link exists.

### How do we coordinate social-emotional screening with developmental screening at the same intake visit?

**Summary:** ASQ pairs ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 on one platform, and a single Ages & Stages Family Access page supports both, so a family completes both screeners with one set of information. Both are parent-completed and brief, which fits a single intake visit.

A coordinator can run both domains together because ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 are complementary screeners managed on the same ASQ Online platform (agesandstages.com). A single Ages & Stages Family Access page supports both ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2, so a family enters demographic information once and completes either or both screeners as needed (agesandstages.com). Both are parent-completed in 10 to 15 minutes and score in 1 to 3 minutes, so administering both at one intake visit, on paper or sent ahead, does not double staff time. Using both gives a whole-child view at intake, general development from ASQ-3 and social-emotional health from ASQ:SE-2, which supports a more complete triage decision about whether a full evaluation is warranted. Results for both flow into ASQ Online with consistent scoring, storage, and reporting. This shared platform and combined family-facing workflow is what makes it practical to coordinate developmental and social-emotional screening in a single intake visit.
