As we know, the earliest identification of developmental delays and concerns can lead to improved outcomes for children. The longer a delay goes unnoticed or untreated, the more deeply embedded it becomes in a child's makeup. This is true for ALL children.

Unfortunately, this CNN article highlights a disturbing trend:

Help Me Grow and our partners are committed to care coordination for ALL children. Read more to learn details of the study and remember that it's important to act early on concerns for a child's development.
