$ Learn the Signs Act Early Partnership Grant

2021

This project provides support to ND early childhood programs and systems through the Act Early Network to support COVID-19 recovery and strengthen resilience skills, behaviors, and resources for children, families, and communities. It enhances current efforts to promote the four steps of early identification of developmental delays and disabilities, including the first step of parent-engaged developmental monitoring. Additionally, this project will improve each of the four steps of early identification, resulting in a developed plan which will be implemented and evaluated to address barriers and identify opportunities for improvement in targeted systems and programs. It will advance the promotion and distribution of existing, relevant tools, materials, and programs to improve resiliency among families with young children during COVID-19 response and mitigation efforts, led by the ND Learn the Signs Act Early Ambassador.
