A Child's Development

A child's development is not just measured in height and weight, but when and how he/she plays, learns, speaks and acts.

That's why the CDC is launching a new campaign to catch potential problems, which could be early warning signs of autism and other disabilities.

The CDC is providing free materials to hundreds of thousands of child care facilities across the country to help teachers look for developmental delays in kids. But, parents can get involved too, by calling 1-800-cdc-info or you can click here.
