Corona A. 2018. State systems for parent-engaged developmental monitoring: A review of eight years of state system-level grantee work. Washington, DC: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, 16 pp.

Annotation: This presentation reviews eight years of state system-level grantee work through the Learn the Signs. Act Early. (LTSAE) initiative focused on improving parent-engaged developmental monitoring. It examines how the Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP) provided grants to states to strengthen early identification systems for developmental delays and disabilities, including autism. The presentation identifies three key impact points: increased awareness among caregivers and providers about developmental monitoring, activated stakeholders and strengthened partnerships, and formalized developmental monitoring as a priority. It showcases case studies from Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and Virginia demonstrating successful approaches to integrating LTSAE developmental monitoring tools into state systems. Survey results indicate high rates of success, with 94% of grantees meeting their objectives and maintaining sustainable efforts. The presentation concludes by highlighting freely available LTSAE resources that can be integrated into existing early childhood systems.
