The Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) was first developed in the 1980's at the University of Oregon. The tool's purpose is to provide a low-cost strategy to monitor the development of infants and young children whose developmental status is in question or at risk. The ASQ has shown to produce high specificity across questionnaire intervals but with lower and varying levels of sensitivity (McKnight, 2014). One of the key recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics is early recognition of neurodevelopmental impairment, so the ASQ is way for providers to screen their patients for possible delays or impairments.

With so many aspects of a person’s daily life going digital, understanding how cyber security is vital to every person is important. An example of this would be Apple’s value of personal security through its value of corporate security.
