SPHARC Environmental Scan Report

A new report was released by the Association of Maternal and Child Health Program on “State Strategies and Initiatives to Improve Developmental and Autism Screening, and Early Identification System.” This report discusses the various screening activities that occur throughout the US and territories to identify children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities.
