Hertel E, Swanson-Holm R. 2020. Iowa Regional Autism Assistance Program. [Iowa City, IA: The University of Iowa Division of Child and Community Health, Child Health Specialty Clinics], 21 pp.

Annotation: From the 2020AMCHP/SPHARC Peer to Peer Exchange, this presentation outlines key resources and initiatives for early childhood development screening and autism awareness, centered around the "Learn the Signs. Act Early" health education campaign. It describes various educational materials available, including autism fact sheets (translated into multiple languages including Spanish, French, Arabic, and Karen), a transition handbook covering healthcare management topics, and free parent resources such as developmental milestone checklists and a tracker app that covers four domains of development (social/emotional, language/communication, cognitive, and movement/physical development). The document also explains the role of Act Early Ambassadors, who serve as state representatives to promote early identification of developmental delays and disabilities by integrating these resources into systems serving young children and their families, with information available through the CDC website.
