This makes it difficult to intervene in this age group due to, among other things, the difficulty of early diagnosis, the high level of comorbidity, and the lack of scientific evidence. This fact raises the question of whether interventions derived from traditional categorical models are the most appropriate option for working with this population. In recent years, some studies have begun to focus on transdiagnostic models as a possible alternative to these models. In this critical review of the literature, analyze the degree of effectiveness of current interventions and reflect on the possible feasibility of the transdiagnostic approach. The results indicate that substantial evidence on the effectiveness of early intervention is still lacking and that it may be beneficial to explore new approaches, such as transdiagnostic. p2.42 Norming the ASQ: Extended and Evaluating Concurrent Validity With ASQ Screener Presenting Author: Kimberly Murphy (USA) Affiliation: Ages & Stages International Research (ASIR) Co-Author: Jantina Clifford The ASQ:Extended (ASQ:EX) is a newly developed measure that presents all items from the 21 different age intervals of the Ages & Stages Questionnaires developmental screening tool by domain rather than by age. The ASQ EX can be used by teachers and researchers to assess and monitor the development of young children ages one up to 42 months for program planning and evaluation purposes. Data is being collected via an online version of the ASQ:EX to establish standardized percentile ranks and facilitate progress monitoring and developmental tracking. This poster explores the relationship between percentile ranks for the ASQ:EX and established cut-offs on the ASQ screening tool to determine the feasibility of using one tool for the dual purposes of early developmental screening and progress monitoring and evaluation for children.
