Annotation: This issue brief examines family navigation strategies implemented in Title V and community-based programs to support children and youth with special health care needs and their families. It describes how family navigators help families overcome barriers in the healthcare system by providing psychosocial support, coordinating services, and offering education. The document highlights findings from an environmental scan of Title V programs, showing that 56 of 59 Title V programs use some form of family navigation, with the majority focusing on children with special health care needs. Case studies from five states (Delaware, Iowa, Rhode Island, Washington, and Wisconsin) detail how they implemented, funded, and sustained family navigation programs, particularly for children with autism spectrum disorder and developmental disabilities. The brief concludes with next steps for advancing family navigation and emphasizes the importance of culturally sensitive communication when working with diverse families.

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.
