Annotation: This presentation from the Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP) discusses seven years of lessons learned in systems coordination for the early identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities. It shares insights from the CDC's "Learn the Signs. Act Early." (LTSAE) initiative and state system-level grant work. The presentation highlights efforts across multiple states including Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Tennessee, showcasing various approaches to developmental monitoring and screening. It emphasizes the importance of early identification of developmental delays, explaining the distinction between developmental surveillance/monitoring and developmental screening. Key accomplishments include creating culturally competent resources, training healthcare providers, establishing partnerships, and integrating developmental monitoring tools into state systems. The presentation concludes with lessons learned about strengthening partnerships and implementing strategies that achieve both short and long-term goals to improve early identification services for children with ASD/DD.
