SPOTLIGHT ON
Early recognition of developmental disabilities such as
autism is key for parents and providers. "Learn the
Signs. Act Early." was developed to help parents measure
their children's progress by monitoring how they play,
learn, speak and act. To support these efforts,
CDC-TV
has just released "Baby
Steps: Learn the Signs. Act Early.", a
new video in its "Health Matters" series. "Baby Steps"
provides up-to-date information and guidance about
identifying developmental disabilities.
Mission

Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD) promotes the health
