CDC – Learn the Signs.  Act Early.

CDC has free information to help educate parents, health care providers, and child care providers about childhood development.

Autism can often be recognized at 18 months or younger.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has prepared materials to help health care professionals inform and educate parents about childhood development, including the early warning signs of autism and other developmental disabilities.

For more information and to request a free kit please visit CDC – Learn the Signs.  Act Early.
