Educating the public about childhood development issues is no small task. To help raise awareness, we need organizations, professionals, parents, and other individuals around the country to partner with CDC in these efforts. From national advocacy organizations to small-town grassroots groups, our partners help spread the word and bring the “Learn the Signs. Act Early.” campaign’s important messages to parents everywhere.

Who Are Our Current Partners?
CDC would like to thank the following national partners for their involvement and contributions in the “Learn the Signs. Act Early.” campaign:

• American Academy of Pediatrics

• Autism Speaks

• Autism Society of America

• First Signs

• Organization for Autism Research

We would also like to thank the many local and regional grassroots partners – from health care professionals to child care providers to parents – who continue to dedicate their time and resources to help educate people about the importance of monitoring developmental milestones in children.
