The document summarizes a home visiting summit that took place in September 2012. It discusses: 1) The Act Early Ambassador project, a collaborative effort between CDC, HRSA, and AUCD to advance CDC's "Learn the Signs. Act Early." program to improve early identification of developmental disabilities. 2) An overview of the summit which included reviewing the importance of early identification of developmental delays, an overview of the "Learn the Signs. Act Early." campaign and materials, and a case study on early signs of autism. 3) A brief history of CDC's National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities and the "Learn the Signs. Act Early." initiative to

Notes de l'éditeur
- More than 5,500 infants die each year because of birth defects. CDC and partners working to change these figures. Much of the work of the NCBDDD focuses on protecting people who are especially vulnerable to health risks—including children. The early years of life—birth to 5– are critical to a child’s development.
- These partnerships helped to strengthen the national capacity to carry out public health activities. Regional summits build upon and initiated new relationship among key stakeholders in the field, provided forums to share important information and served as catalysts for the development of state teams. State leaders received technical assistance from AUCD, MCH and CDC to develop state action plans for improving early identification of Autism and other DD.
- 10 ambassadors 2011- 15 ambassadors this year South Carolina is well represented this year- Walt Jenner from MUSC who is education and outreach officer for the SC Ausitm and Developmental Disabilites Monitoring Program (ASSM) at MUSC selected to serve as ambassador to other states ADDM networks. These groups responsible for providing information to the CDC to assist with determining prevalence numbers.
- True- Sometimes you will see a range of 15-20%, but AAP uses 17%. False- Sad, but true. Despite improvements in routine developmental screening, only 30% of children are identified prior to school entry. Every year, more than a million children with unidentified disabilities enter school with learning and health issues that put them far behind their peers and have a lasting, negative effect on their ability to meet their full potential. False-new prevalence data release earlier this year indicates that 1 in 88 children has ASD- in SC, it’s 1 in 90 with boys about 4 times more likely than girls to have the diagnosis…average age of diagnosis is between 4 and 4 ½ years. African American children are diagnoses with ASD at later ages and Hispanic children are less likely to diagnosed at all. False- developmental delays are not things that children grow out of- so it’s vital that we all learn the signs of delays and help to identify children as early as possible so intervention can begin and children can reach full potential.
- Research projects address information need of parents, health care providers, and early educators to improve early identification in populations with health disparities. Also research about how to reach special populations with campaign messages and how to improve systems that identify and serve children with developmental delays.
- AE team works to improve awareness on asd prevallence and the importance of screening and early referral Diagnostic and intervention efforts are implemented effectively in timely manner consistent with appropriate professional and evidence-based practice Information about services is easily available to families Services are provided by competent personnel at a high level of quality and Cross system collaboration is seamless and ongoing evaluation of effectiveness of services.
