>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) 
><http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/>National Center on Birth Defects and 
>Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD) has developed a public awareness 
>campaign called "Learn the Signs. Act Early." The purpose of this 
>campaign is to educate people about childhood development, including 
>early warning signs of autism and other developmental disorders, as 
>well as to encourage developmental screenings and intervention.
>
>Materials, all of which are free and are written in both English and 
>Spanish, have been specifically designed for families, healthcare 
>providers, and early childhood educators. 
><http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/index.html>The CDC's website has 
>information about the "Learn the Signs. Act Early" campaign, 
>including how to order the materials.

>In addition, The Elizabeth M. Boggs Center (coordinator for New 
>Jersey's Act Early team), with funding from the New Jersey 
>Governor's Council on the Prevention of Developmental Disabilities, 
>helped facilitate the translation of the following Act Early 
>materials into Arabic, Korean, and Portuguese:
>1. The Informational Card lists basic developmental milestones 
>between the ages of 7 months and 4 years
>2. The Developmental Screening Fact Sheet explains what a 
>developmental screening is
>3. Tips for Talking with Parents helps childcare providers talk with 
>parents if they suspect there might be a delay
>
>The translated materials are available on the CDC's Act Early website:
><http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/downloads.html#lang>http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/downloads.html#lang

>I've also attached the PDFs, which people are welcome to copy and 
>disseminate wherever they think would be useful.
