A Resource To Order...
Just a quick note tonight and a resource for you to order...
The US Dept of Health and Human Services' CDC (Center for Disease Control & Prevention) has a great deal of information about child development and developmental milestones that is online and downloadable for free.
In addition, if you are a child care professional, you can order the “Learn the Signs. Act Early.” Child Care Provider Resource Kit, which includes a CD-ROM with fact sheets you can print out, along with three (3) growth charts, three (3) small posters, and 50 flyers for parents.The CD-ROM contains fact sheets on: developmental milestones from 3 months to 5 years; developmental disabilities, including autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, vision loss, and hearing loss; and developmental screening. It also includes milestones checklists you can print out and share with parents as well as tips for talking to them about child development.
This is a great tool and is yours simply for the asking. Go to the CDC website to find out more information and order online.
Well, I'm off to Appleton, MN to present a workshop tonight... I'll talk to you more tomorrow, but take a moment and order your Act Early kit now.

It's time to change how we view a child's growth. Do you know all the ways you should measure your child’s growth? We naturally think of height and weight, but from birth to 5 years, your child should reach milestones in how he plays, learns, speaks and acts. A delay in any of these areas could be a sign of a developmental problem, even autism. The good news is, the earlier it’s recognized the more you can do to help your child reach her full potential.
