Description

Dr. Davis will discuss methods to screen or identify a child with potential risk factors for developmental delay and autism and discuss when it is appropriate to seek early intervention. Growing research, including longitudinal data released in 2017, shows that children with developmental delay or autism who begin therapy early have much better outcomes over time. These children learn to communicate better, have milder overall symptoms, and have an improved opportunity to thrive.

  1. Recognize common patterns of developmental delay
  2. Recognize common symptoms of autism in children under 3 years old
