What: In an effort to educate parents about childhood development, including early warning signs of autism and other developmental disabilities, UDOH will announce the launch of a new campaign that will give parents tools to help them track milestones in the fight to recognize and address early childhood delays.
Why: One in every nine children in Utah has a special health care need, chronic health condition, or disability. Research has shown that the earlier these problems are identified, the better the chance children will get help and reach their full potential.
