ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE mean scores vary by child age. Each ASQ-3 domain score is scored on a scale of 0 to 60. Possible ASQ: SE score ranges are from 0 to over 300 depending on the questionnaire form since number of questions varies across forms. On the ASQ-3, lower scores indicate increased clinical risk, while on the ASQ: SE, higher scores indicate increased clinical risk. Scores on the ECSA child portion can range from 0 to 72 with scores of 18 or higher indicating clinical significance. Scores on the ECSA parent portion can range from 0 to 8 with scores of 1 or higher indicating clinical risk.

Parents can indicate concerns in 10 areas on the PEDS with higher scores indicating increased clinical risk. Scoring guidelines vary by child age, but > 2 predictive concerns indicates clinically elevated concerns. Scores on the PSC can range from 0 to 70 with higher scores indicating increased clinical risk. Scores of 28 and above indicate clinical significance.
