Act Early" public awareness campaign. This childhood development campaign is designed to help increase awareness about the importance of tracking a child's social and emotional development, including the potential early warning signs of autism and other developmental disabilities. The "Learn the Signs. Act Early" campaign has developed a free resource kit of materials on child development and autism for day care providers and teachers to share with parents of children in their care. The kit, available in both English and Spanish, includes a CD-ROM containing fact sheets on age- specific developmental milestones and on developmental disabilities such as autism, a growth chart that allows parents to track specific developmental milestones along with the height and weight of the child, and educational posters. The new phase targets more than 407,000 child care facilities in the United States and will provide free materials to help child care providers and preschool teachers educate parents about child development and autism. The CDC campaign also encourages parents to ask their child's doctor or health care professional about any developmental concerns they might have. Parents can also call 1-800-CDCINFO or visit www.cdc.gov/actearly for additional information. More information about the "Learn the Signs. Act Early" campaign and developmental milestones is available on the site, in addition to ordering information on the FREE Child Care Provider Resource Kit. • Jeannie Pittman-Executive Director Butte Sierra District Dental Society 1469 Butte House Road, Suite E Yuba City, CA 95993 PHONE-530:671-9312 FAX:530-671-2460
