      ab: Undergraduate nursing students at a Western Australian university completed a child developmental assessment program which included the parent-completed Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), a validated population-based screening tool. The aim of introducing the ASQ within a home visiting program was to increase the students' knowledge of developmental stages and their skill in observing and recording developmental progress in a child by using a validated tool. The study complements a previous qualitative evaluation by the author of the educational use of the ASQ with medical students.There was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test observational skills of students in assessing a child at play; this has valuable application for use in clinical practice. However, there was no evidence from this evaluation that students learn specific developmental stages by this method of learning. The study raises questions related to the content of child development assessment curricula and how to most effectively assess this learning in undergraduate nursing students.
