Learning the Signs of Autism and the Importance of Acting Early
To raise awareness about developmental milestones and the importance of identifying them and getting help early, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers free information and tools for parents, health care professionals, and early educators through it's "Learn the Signs. Act Early." campaign (www.cdc.gov/actearly). Research has shown that early intervention is key to helping a child reach his or her full potential. That's why CDC wants all parents to "learn the signs" and "act early," even if a problem is only suspected.
Vaccine Safety
Vaccines are one of the greatest success stories in public health and have ended smallpox, nearly ended polio and reduced outbreaks of measles, pertussis and other illnesses to an all-time low.
