Learn the Signs! Act Early

The “Learn the Signs. Act Early.” program from the CDC helps parents, caregivers, and educators monitor children’s development and recognize early signs of developmental delays or disabilities. It provides easy-to-use tools, checklists, and resources to track milestones in areas like communication, social skills, and motor development. The program emphasizes the importance of early action—encouraging families to talk with healthcare providers and seek evaluations if concerns arise. Early identification and intervention can improve outcomes for children, helping them receive the support and services they need to thrive at home, school, and in the community.
