A
national campaign to increase awareness and action
in the early identification of children
with autism or other developmental disorders
The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has launched an
awareness campaign to educate parents about childhood development,
including early warning signs of autism and other developmental
disorders. The earlier a child with a developmental delay receives
appropriate assessment and intervention, the better the developmental
outcome can be. To help prepare the health care community for the
anticipated increase in questions and requests for information from
parents, CDC has developed a Provider Resource Kit. This kit contains
materials designed to help health care professionals communicate with
parents about childhood development, what parents should be concerned
about, and the warning signs of autism and other delays. Please visit
the campaign Web site at www.cdc.gov/actearly
to view the campaign resources designed for health care professionals -
you can download them from the website or order materials to be mailed
to your office at no charge to you.

coordination of care. A sample flowchart of clinical screening
activities and an example of how physician and non-physician staff roles
may be delineated to make routine screening feasible are provided as
well (these can be printed from the web site). The
