This session will focus on the importance of and processes currently used for developmental monitoring and screening of young children with or at risk for autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities (ASD/DD).  Information will be shared about current prevalence rates, evidence-based developmental and autism screening tools, and referral procedures in North Carolina.  Special emphasis will be on ways each of us can support child find activities by facilitating parent engagement in developmental monitoring using CDC’s “Learn the Signs. Act Early.” materials.  Through videos and brief case scenarios, the early signs of autism spectrum disorder will be shared and discussed.
