Description
Act Early Ambassadors from Indiana, Virginia, and Wisconsin share experiences engaging early childhood cross-sector partners to improve developmental monitoring of all children. The Act Early Initiative promotes universal developmental monitoring as an adjunct to developmental screening with a validated tool. Engagement in early childhood collaborations requires sensitivity to differing partner perspectives, and the ability to think in terms of child development in general, rather than delay, disability, and intervention.Back to Session: Poster Symposium: The Act Early Network and You!
