Talking to Parents About Autism Action Kit

If you suspect a developmental delay or autism, speak up!  As an early childhood educator, you are face-to-face with young children every day. You observe them, teach them, love them and interact with them. That means you’re in the ideal position to notice if their development seems delayed. When this happens — you need to talk to the parents and urge them to have their child screened. Let them know that early intervention can make a huge difference in a child’s life. There is no doubt that this can be a difficult conversation to have with a parent. Autism Speaks and the Advertising Council have created a Talking to Parents About Autism Action Kit that provides tools and conversation-starters to help you speak up when you suspect autism.For more information about this kit or to download it please visit http://www.autismspeaks.org/whatisit/talking_to_parents_action_kit.php.
